MARCH 4TH BASEBALL BIRTHDAY QUOTE GOES TO DAZZY VANCE

Hall of Famer Dazzy Vance was born on March 4, 1891.  He had many achievements as a player including being the only pitcher to lead the National Leagues 7 years in a row in strike outs. He was also the National League MVP in 1924, the first year of the MVP award.

To me as a baseball quote collector, he provided the greatest quote I have ever seen about finding out he made the Hall of Fame.

"How did I feel when I first heard the news? About the same way I guess that Columbus felt when he looked out from his ship and first saw land"
--Dazzy Vance, on finding out he was inducted into the Hall of Fame
