1928 photograph of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bill Burwell, and his hand holding a baseball.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Caption text says "The army gave Pitcher Bill Burwell his "sinker" ball. Burwell, who recently joined the Pittsburgh Pirates, had one of his fingers shattered by a machine gun bullet while serving overseas during the World war, but instead of handicapping his baseball efforts after it had healed, it added to his effectiveness as a slabman. The deformed digit is plainly shown in the closeup photograph. Burwell, who came to Pittsburgh from the Indianapolis club of the American association, is a veteran of the diamond as well as the armed forces. He is 33." |
