"When it (broken finger, May 26, 1963 , tagging out Jackie Brandt at home plate in the 8th inning) happened, I was hitting about .340. I was supposed to be out for six weeks, but the Indians wanted me to get back sooner, so we took the cast off after two weeks and I played - but I shouldn't have. My hand didn't heal properly and bothered me for several years after that, especially in cold weather. It gave me trouble gripping the bat." - Johnny Romano in The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia (Russell Schneider, Sports Publishing LLC, 01/13/2005, Johnny Romano , Page 243)
