Carr Discusses Early Squeeze Play In Baseball
Cherley Carr disputes Clark Griffith's claim of inventing the squeeze play, recounting prior use with Detroit in 1903 and Cleveland. He explains the one out on third base squeeze, stressing timing for the batter to place the ball out of the catcher’s reach and the runner scoring in most cases. He also describes a two-base misdirection with runners on first and third to yield a home run, arguing one successful squeeze per opponent could yield seven wins.
