Description
A baseball pitcher can single-handedly sway a battle. He can shut out the other side, perhaps without a hit, possibly even without a base-runner. And it is possible but not probable that he could hit a homer to win the game, too. The pitchers profiled here have not won many games with homers, but they have pitched shutouts, no-hitters, even perfect games, and won hundreds of games. Each has been chosen because he was especially outstanding in one way or another, as the reader will discover on the following pages. - Introduction.
