Dodgers Use Signal Corps to Scout Opponents
Charley Dressen leads a Brooklyn Dodgers scouting system using carrier pigeon short-wave radio and semaphore to relay pitcher tendencies to batters. He explains pitchers tip off their grips for fastballs and curves, notes Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell as tricky examples, and says batters are 100 percent guess hitters trying to out-think the pitcher. Dressen dismisses beaning as a consequence of exploiting repeated pitcher mistakes.
