Bedient's era...
Hmmm... I used to copy Walter Johnson's unique delivery. From old footage. 'The Big Train' would rear back like an overhand thrower with the arm reaching back almost at a typical right angle, but would whip the ball around sidearm at release. He had a long loose windup and momentum and follow-through almost like a hitter across his body. I could do it, and even used it as a surprise angle in a few games, but never found any hidden advantage in it.
1912 Bedient won the series, and Ruth was a left-handed catcher at St. Mary's Industrial School. |
Thought Ted referred to Ted Williams. (Slaps face with open palm)
