"that Gibson is the greatest catcher i have ever seen, he looks like he's in a rocking chair then he slings the ball to second. I told Mr. Griffith
he's worth $100,000, too bad the fellow is a negro."
I'm telling you Tyler Walter Johnson had other pitches. A great pitcher cannot last without other pitches. Walter Johnson started his career in
1907, when you were still allowed to cheat with different pitches. Do you honestly think that he only threw a fastball? I don't!
idk for sure they had weird pitches back then like the ones satchel paige came up with...baseball was still a young game and pitches weren't really
invented yet pitchers just went with what they had
They had pitches like shine balls where you rub shoe shine on the ball, emeory balls where you scratch the ball with an emeory bored, hesitation
pitches (Satchel Paige), and mud balls (self-explanatory).
