"Catcher Elvin Tappe, always a notoriously poor hitter, likes to tell of the fellow from Quincy who had just returned from his first visit to Chicago. 'I liked Chicago, all right,' said his friend, 'but everybody's got his hand out up there.' Snapped Elvin: 'Yeah, I found that out too, except when I was there they all had baseball mitts on.' "
-Edgar Munzel, Chicago Sun-Times (Baseball Digest, May 1956)
