Sad Sam Jones: Difference between revisions

* "Bill McGeehan of the New York Herald-Tribune dubbed him Sad Sam because, to him, Jones looked downcast on the field. Jones told Lawrence Ritter that the reason he looked downcast was because, 'I would always wear my cap down real low over my eyes. And the sportswriters were more used to fellows like [[Waite Hoyt]], who'd always wear their caps way up so they wouldn't miss any pretty girls'." – Ed Walton, at Baseball Library [https://web.archive.org/web/20040604015102/http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/J/Jones_Sad_Sam.stm]
