Maillet Gives Sailors Lift
Ted Maillet, a clever southpaw who joined the Erie Tars, once pitched right handed in high school before switching to lefty after a coach shuffled two southpaws off the roster. He starred with 23 wins in 30 games, three no-hitters, and a 21 strikeout game in 1938. Signed by the Reds in 1939, he joined Durham in the Piedmont League, spending half a season on the bench while recalling high school feats.
