"Ayah saya bermain untuk tim penambangan batu bara di Ohio timur; dia pitcher yang sangat bagus. Jika dia tidak melukai lengannya, dia mungkin akan mendapat suntikan di suatu tempat. Dia melukai lengannya pada satu musim semi, tidak cukup hangat, tidak bisa melempar bola cepat lagi. Penambang batu bara lain mengajarinya cara melempar knuckleball."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn't hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn't warm up good enough, couldn't throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball.
