"The legend of Addie Joss the ballplayer began when he was around 14; he supposedly knocked a brick loose from the side of his aunt and uncle's farmhouse with a baseball. The tall and gangly kid with an easy-going manner and a studious bent was all of a sudden more than that. He was a real thrower; he had made his mark, so to speak. He would make more." - Michael Coffey in 27 Men Out (2004)
