Merritt admits to 25 30 spitballs in win over Indians
Jim Merritt of the Texas Rangers confessed to throwing 25 to 30 illegal spitballs during Sunday’s 6 0 victory over Cleveland in the first game of a doubleheader. He said other pitchers may still throw the pitch and the issue will be reviewed by baseball officials led by commissioner Rosie Kuhn. Perry, the 1972 Cy Young winner, has written of using the pitch but stopped five years ago.
