Southpaw pitcher Bill Burns had a similar pitching style as Eddie Plank, which was a "crossfire" motion (that really
rattled Ty Cobb). Burns pitched for 5 different teams during his 5-year career (1908 - 1912) in the Major Leagues.
Burns was one of the group of men who allegedly participated in the "Black-Sox" scandal in the 1919 World Series.
