"'When I (Max Butcher) first came up to the big league, I had a big curve, but I started messing around with other pitches and I lost it.' With the help of (Burleigh) Grimes, he started working on his slider. 'I was one of the first to use it- now everybody's using it.'" - Sportswriter Herb Simons in Baseball Magazine (July 1945)
