“The kid’s got plenty of stuff, all right, but his control leaves something to be desired.”

Who was the best pitcher who ever lived? Was it Satchel Paige, whose color kept him out of the big leagues until he was in his 40s and whose skill kept him in the big leagues until he was in his 50s? Here, a quick taste of Richard Donovan’s profile, plus Paige offers his rules for staying young. George Plimpton makes a pitch for the wise Sidd Finch, whose career never got started. And Ring Lardner laments the early “passing” of a pitching genius, Christy Mathewson. Remarkably, Lardner’s tongue-in-cheek elegy has been quoted frequently as a solemn eulogy. A whole staff of cartoonists add their artful comments on the art of throwing a baseball.
