"A homer a day will boost my pay."

"There is a catcher that any big league club would love. His name is Gibson...he can do everything. He hits the ball a mile. And he catches so easy he might as well be in a rocking chair. Throws like a rifle. Too bad this Gibson is a colored fellow." - Walter Johnson

"He could hit any pitch to any field. The only way to pitch to him was to throw the ball low and behind him." - Chet Brewer

"He was at minimum, two Yogi Berras." - Bill Veeck
