Text | [Eureka vs. Irvington 5/7/1867] In addition to trying for speed, too, both pitchers aimed for “twist” in their delivery, and the result of this was only to make the duties of the fielders more difficult, especially those of the catchers. With a bowled ball, as in cricket, twist is everything; with a pitched ball, in our game, it is worse than useless. It never yet led to anything but to bother the catcher in judging or holding the ball, or in troubling the fielders to judge its rise from the ground in the field. |
