THE BEST PITCHER I'VE EVER SEEN by Ernie Banks. The best pitcher I've ever seen is Robin Roberts. He has an exceptional fast ball and a good curve ball. He also has a fine change of pace. He relys mostly on his fast ball and he gets it in the right spot on every hitter. In addition to all these things, Robin has a good move to first base, and he is a real good fielder.
Lou has had a long and distinguished career in baseball, although it was only in 1952 that his playing days ended. Possibly Lou's greatest year was in 1948, when, as player-manager for the Cleveland Indians, he led them to a pennant, largely due to the fine work of his shortstop, fellow named Lou Boudreau. He hit .355, and was named the League's Most Valuable Player. With the exception of 1951, Lou has managed continuously in the majors since 1942.
Prior to injuring his elbow in July and undergoing Tommy John surgery in August, Tanner was evolving into a front-line closer. He sat eighth in the NL in saves at that time, overwhelming hitters chiefly with a fierce fastball that averaged 97.0 mph, and ranked within the top 10% in spin rate. Rainey did not allow a home run in his first 16 appearances.
