"Primarily, I was a fastball pitcher, and nobody could teach me to throw a fastball because nobody on that ballclub could throw any harder than I could. But, I did watch Tommy Bridges to learn how to throw a curveball; I think he had the greatest curveball I've ever seen." - Virgil Trucks in He Tossed No-Hitters Twice in A Season (Baseball Digest : February 1995)
