Hi Hank. Hope you are well. That's amazing, my mother bought that book for me in 1960 or so. I still have it and pull it out from time to time. I spent hours reading the anecdotes and factoids. I was just recounting the other day to someone that, as of the writing of that book, Nick Altrock was the only pitcher to be credited with a win without throwing a pitch. I never forgot reading that. I think it's been done since.
I apologize to the OP for taking the thread on a little detour.
