Fact
- I remember going to New York early that year (1941), and why they didn't pull the shift on me that day I'll never know. Marius Russo was pitching, a left-hander with a sidearm fastball that sank. He was good in the Stadium because right-handers couldn't get the ball in the air off him. - Ted Williams, excerpt of his book My Turn at Bat - The Story of My Life, 1988.
