August 2nd, tomorrow, is the 100th anniversary of his first start in baseball. Nice gesture!

My favorite quote from the article:
"The first time I faced him," Ty Cobb wrote, "I watched him take that easy windup, and then something went past me that made me flinch. I hardly saw the pitch, but I heard it. The thing just hissed with danger. Every one of us knew we'd met the most powerful arm ever turned loose in a ballpark."
