Unlike other head hunters in his days like Carl Mays and Sal "The Barber" Maglie, Dick "Shaver" McCormick had his own agenda on the mound.

Now that's 2 quarters young feller, now you don't go spending that in one place now, ya hear? (reminds me of working for my great grandfather years ago)
Alright, no response on the terrible pitcher, how about name that pitch. We have the "fadeaway" and "Uncle Charlie". how bout:
The Eagle claw ball Down with Hippies pitch Wascally wabbit pitch The ole' Popeye eye pitch "A-gah-gah-gah-gah!" (watch video.)
Back of his baseball card reads: "Jim pitched a record 832 innings for the Cubs last year. In the off-season he enjoys reading, ice packs, and morphine."
Jim's manager after a rare win: "Son, I'd shake your hand but that thing scares the hell outta me."
Great ones Greg. Let's hear some more. KVZbs9, Josh, Joel, Cleanhoohoo, Studboy, ScottWNJ, we loved to hear from you. Also, I have this feeling like we're not running on all cylinders.....Hmmmm.....
