Great, a Hall of Fame pitcher with The Giants, best known for the screwball and for striking out 5 Hall of Famers in succession in an All-Star Game. One of the best pitchers of the 30's.

Inventor of the screwball which essentially is a pitch that when thrown by a lefty, mimics a curve ball thrown by a righty. Tough pitch to throw and too hit. My boy, Willie Hernandez, threw this pitch with great success for a few years.

never saw him pitch but I have to respect anybody that had the nickname of King and threw the screwball so much that their left hand faced the wrong way
