Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"(George) Earnshaw is strictly a speed ball pitcher, and in his case speed is spelled with capital letters. There are no fancy frills, just a bullet-like delivery, with a perplexing change of pace. 'I have pitched more than one game,' says Earnshaw, 'in which I didn't use a single curve. All that I showed was my fast ball and a ball that wasn't so fast.'" - Columnist F.C. Lane in Baseball Magazine (November 1929)
