"(Ty) Cobb told him, 'Forget that screwball.' He didn't want any of his pitchers foolin' around with any screwballs. And they got in an argument. Well, Carl (Hubbell) was gone by the next week. He got with the Giants. Boy, Cobb made a mistake there." - Richard Bak in (Cobb Would Have Caught It 1993)
