"Liquor has put me out for the third time," said Jerome Willis "Red" Downs to a police detective upon his arrest for armed robbery in 1932. "First, it caused me to lose a place in the big league, where I might, by this time, have been a successful manager. The second time it threw me out of the Coast League. And now it's got me into this jam." ---- article by R. J. Lesch (SABR)
