Major League Baseball

"Brother or no brother ... he (Rick) was a real classy receiver. You never saw him lunge for the ball; he never took a strike away from you. He'd get more strikes for a pitcher than anybody I ever saw, because he made catching look easy."

"His (Wes Ferrell) best ball, of course, is his fast ball. But he also has a most servicable curve, such a curve as many pitchers fail to acquire in years of patient practice. And young and inexperienced as he is, he has developed a baffling change of pace." - F.C. Lane

"If there was one major difference between the Ferrell brothers, it was their temperamant. Wes was a prima donna and hotheaded. Rick was soft-spoken and a team player." - Bob Broeg

"I saw him get so mad after losing a game of poker, that he tore the deck of cards in half with his bare hands." — Bill Werber
