Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"When big Alton Benton was struggling along with the Athletics several years ago no one suspected that he would some day pitch half an All-Star Game. But when Joe McCarthy of the Yankees chose to stifle the National League All-Stars the other twight at the Polo Grounds, he picked his own Spud Chandler and finished with Al Benton. It was a fine compliment for the large and right-handed Oklahoma farm boy. Birdie Tebbets, the highly intelligent Detroit catcher, calls Benton the best pitcher in the American League." - Grayson, Harry. The Dunkirk Evening Observer: Big Al Benton Takes Place Among Stars as Late Arrival. 16 July 1942. Page Fifteen.
