  • Knuckle Curve Pitcher on Mound Former MLB Umpire Ron Luciano on Knucklers
    “That ____ Eaton Pitch” ‐uttered by numerous opponents over the years in regard to Eaton’s knuckle curveball, with various derogatory terms used to fill in the blank Numerous Reds’ pitchers, after tremendous high school careers that culminated in being drafted by MLB teams, had great success with their knuckle curves in college and the pros. Above: Kyle Ottoson starts in Game 3 of Super Regionals for Arizona State vs. Texas and leaves the game with the lead, and Shane Dyer’s first of many baseball cards (rising all the way to Triple‐A) show his knuckle curve grip. Coach Danley learned the knuckle curve from a pitcher* at Oklahoma State in the late 1980’s, researched it, taught it, and embraced it fully, and went on to win 20 of the Reds’ 21 spring and summer state titles with the victorious Reds’ pitcher throwing the knuckle curve. While the pitch breaks down sharply like a curve ball, it has no curve ball spin or potentially damaging elbow torque like a curve ball, and so the name of the pitch is misleading. With this in mind, maybe what the Reds’ opponents called the pitch was a much better description: “that ____ Eaton pitch.” The Reds were frankly honored by the term, but more honored by the swings and misses (and sometimes quite ugly ones at that) at the pitch. The knuckle curve and Eaton’s Championship Years are so intertwined it would be redundant to other material on EatonBaseball.com to focus an entire story on the pitch, however as one example of its dominance, the Reds in the 2008 State Championship found themselves clinging to a 3‐1 lead with the opponent loading up the bases with no outs, at which point the Reds threw 9 straight knuckle curves, producing 9 straight strikes, and ending the inning and effectively the game.

  • Chad Sabadie
    America's Presstime: How Images Of Baseball Reporters Have Shaped the Perception of Our National Sport and The Profession Of Journalism By Chad Sabadie “You call ourselves writers, and all we do is watch ballgames, argue about everything and just get drunk a lot. You call that writing?” asks sportswriter Al Stump of his colleagues in the movie Cobb. 1 What is a baseball sportswriter? Is it someone who merely reports on daily games and activities? Or is it someone who plays a larger role in the world of the players and fans with whom he associates? What is the image that comes to mind when one mentions a baseball reporter? The image of a baseball reporter is varied at best. Some see him or her as just another hard worker out to do his or her job. Others see an intrusive antagonist who will do anything to break a story. Over the years, the public has seen many images of baseball writers, and not while attending games at the ballpark. They’re seen in America’s other favorite pastime, the movies. It’s on the big screen that the different personalities and traits are truly exposed. Some images are constant from film to film, while others may just flash up once in a while. In baseball movies specifically, the public comes across a wide spectrum of personas that reveal what it takes to make a baseball writer. Many of the images are projections of real life transformed to film. There are writers who believe that their word is final, while others are friends who aid ballplayers throughout their careers.

  • We Are Turning 40!
    Page 1 KIT YOUNG’S SALE #128 WE ARE TURNING 40! This month marks our 40th year in business. I started back in the stone ages as a one-man gang, mainly doing shows and eventually advertising in The Trader Speaks, Sports Collectors Digest, then later in Baseball Hobby News, The Sporting News, USA Weekly, The Advertiser and more. I was joined by Scott Cowan when he was a mere child of 15 (he’s now 51), then within a short time by Rob Rosen, Bob Ivanjack & Nacho Arredondo. These 4 stalwarts have been my partners for a combined 110 years (average 27 years each). I’ve noted before that we started before there were official price guides and long before words like “faxing”, “emailing” and “Googling” were part of our world. It’s hard to believe but we opened our doors before Microsoft, Home Depot & Costco even existed. It’s been a great ride so far. Some of our clients have dealt with us for 20-30 years, some longer. It’s still a kick to go to a big card show and have people stop by to say they ordered their first card from us. They usually say they ordered with they were 9-12. These collectors now are often 40-50. Crazy! Special thanks to the 100,000+ collectors we’ve served over the past 4 decades. I look forward to the coming years. Kit, our late leader Patti, Scott, Bob, Nacho & Rob To celebrate this anniversary we are offering special 20-30-40% off sections in this sale.
