"Pete Weckbecker has signed with Louisville, and I congratulate Manager Chapman on his latest acquisition to the catching department. Pete is a number one catcher, and, if he is not injured, like he was last season, will make a fine record. He is a good clean batter and base-runner and a fine thrower to bases." - Sporting Life's Burlington (IA) correspondent, May 3, 1890
