"I'll pitch a curve roughly half the time. I like to pitch curves. Even when my arm is sore I'd rather pitch a curve than a fast ball. That's probably because my arm gets sore at the shoulder. Curve balls give your arm a twist at the elbow that never seems to bother me." - Watty Clark in Baseball Magazine (August 1930)
