What a terrific spitball pitcher he was. Bugs drank a lot, you know, and sometimes it seemed like the more he drank the better he pitched. They used to say he didn't spit on the ball, he blew his breath on it and the ball would come up drunk.

HOF 1971
I got along with him fine. He only suspended me once, for two weeks. It was on account of I socked him. Well, I didn't really sock him. It was more of a push. I pushed him, sort of, and he fell down the dugout steps. Well maybe it was a sock at that. I'm not sure now. After all, it took place about 60 years ago. What happened was that I missed a sign. It wasn't my fault, it really wasn't. When I got back to the dugout he called me a lot of names and so I hit him. He suspended me for two weeks without pay, but once it was over he forgot about it completely. Never mentioned it again.

That's a good one! That's all right! It's a slow-in curve to a right-handed batter. A change of pace with a curve ball. A regular fallaway or fadeaway. That's a good ball!
