"He (Dick Newsome) could throw a baseball so fast that I truly could not see it from the time it left his hand until it hit my glove. He scared the heck out of me. I put on my face mask, shin guards and two chest protectors just to catch him in 'warm-up.' It took weeks for my left hand to get over the bruises." - James D. Pearce in The Poor Town News (2003)
