Hey Scott,
Thanks so much for those kind words on the piece, as well as your insight into Hubbell. For whatever reason, I've always been drawn to him. I don't even think it has anything to do with his stats per se, as it might just be what I can see in my mind's eye. Imagining the Giants of the 1930s in the Polo Grounds with my grandfather in attendance is just something that's so vivid in my collective unconscious, even though I never heard any stories. I was always very interested in hearing what Red Barber had to say about Hubbell, as he always stated that if there was one ball game to be played with his life held on the balance, he would want Carl to pitch that game. There's a whole chapter dedicated to him in his old book, "Walk in the Spirit", which is also really wonderful. What a pitcher he was. Graig
