Text | [the St. Louis correspondent, quoting Harry Wright] ...this man is the most scientific catcher that ever stood up behind the home plate ready to take the rifle shots in any style the pitcher wishes to put them in, and to pick foul tips right off the bat. He can work day and in day out without injury, because he knows just how to catch a ball without injuring himself of making his hands sore. His hands always give with the ball, and the force of the great speed put on by the pitcher is broken, thereby saving his hands. I consider Bushong the most scientific catcher of the present day. |
