Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"Jack (Ruby) could be hot-headed, but he didn't strike me as a compulsive man...Jack was standing there (in the bank) crying and he had about $7,000 in cash on him the day of the assassination. He and I talked and I warned him that he'd be knocked in the head one day carrying all that cash on him." - Bill Cox (Former Baseball Player / Loan Officer at Merchants State Bank in Dallas, Texas) in The Ruby Cover-Up (Seth Kantor, August 1976)
