  • The Early Southern Association 1901 - 1926
    The Early Southern Association 1901 - 1926 Atlanta Birmingham Chattanooga Little Rock Memphis Mobile Nashville New Orleans S. Derby Gisclair Member Society for American Baseball Research The Atlanta Crackers Al Bridwell (1884 – 1969) Born in Friendship, Ohio, Bridwell served his first stint in the Southern Association with Atlanta in 1903 and was unremarkable. He posted a .196 batting average during 81 games. Bridwell made his major league debut on April 16, 1905 and played shortstop for five different teams during his eleven seasons in major league baseball (1905 – 1915) and was considered to be one of the best hitting shortstops of the Deadball Era. He ended a streak of 3,246 consecutive at-bats without a home run by hitting his first career homer of George Suggs on April 30, 1913. However, Bridwell will forever be remembered for hitting the single that began the “Merkle’s boner” rally on September 23, 1908. He returned to the Atlanta Crackers at the age of 32 in 1916, playing twelve games at shortstop, batting a respectable .325 that year. He returned in 1917 at third base (67 games) and second base (20 games) and batted .283 for the season. Bridwell served two terms as the sheriff of Scioto County, Ohio, before becoming a security guard at a steel factory in Portsmouth, Ohio. He died on January 23, 1969 after being hospitalized for two months. Charles “Whitey” Alperman (1879 – 1942) A native of Etna, Pennsylvania, Alperman made his major league debut on April 13, 1906 with the Brooklyn Superbas (Dodgers) and played four seasons in the majors.

  • The Evolution of the Spitball
    The Evolution of the Spitball The use of spit to get extra movement on a breaking ball is as old as the game itself. There are solid stories of Tommy Bond and Chick Fraser throwing what could be termed a spitball back in the 1800s. Bobby Matthews was one of the game’s first great pitchers, and his “drop ball” was actually a spitter. There is an account of Matthews using this “drop pitch” when he was 16 years old, which was way back in 1868! But apparently no pitcher from the 1800s had such an electrifying spitball that they used it as their main pitch. Unlike the next generation of spitballers, the early practitioners of the pitch seemed to be going for a more mild form of the pitch that would be easier to control, and the detailed descriptions of their technique generally involved just moistening the tips of their fingers. The second coming of the spitball had pitchers who were getting a huge break on the pitch, and rather than wetting their fingers, they focused on moistening a spot on the ball itself. Some were described as slobbering on the ball, and a few even licked the ball directly with their tongues. One spitballer of the new generation described his method as wetting a spot on the ball about the size of a “half dollar.” The big breaking pitch was tough to control, but for those who could master it, it was such a superb weapon that around 1904 we began to see for the first time pitchers who were using it as their dominant pitch.
