"(Charlie) Getzein had a pronounced straight-armed backswing and a characteristic little skip in his delivery. He was called 'Pretzel Twirler' because of his peculiar curves. He also had plenty of speed and a fine drop ball and he excelled at mixing speeds." - Historian Robert L. Tiemann in Nineteenth Century Stars (1989)
