Text | [Keystones vs. Excelsior 10/1/1867] The [Excelsiors] would have had a much better chance of winning if the catcher [Jewell] had kept farther back from the bat, for while the Keystones were not prevented by his close proximity from running the bases, several fly tips were missed, one striking Jewell directly in the throat. We counted no less than seven of these missed tips, which could have been easily taken by a catcher twenty feet back of the base, and a very different score would have been the result. |
