Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Jack Sanford) was a bulky guy, who would be a small-size right tackle on the football team. He wasn't delicate. He was out there to throw the baseball and he did it well. He wasn't afraid to brush back a hitter. He was an old-school pitcher. He wasn't a Cadillac, but he was a damn good Buick." - Bob Stevens in The San Francisco Chronicle (2000)
