Players on Bench Can Do Much Good
Hoosier pitcher Claude Elliott argues that smart bench players who think and suggest tactics can flip games. He recalls the Giants versus Brooklyn, where Heinie Batch exposed Mathewson and McGinnity with a high fast ball, prompting McGraw to challenge the two stars. Elliott then faced Batch twice and struck him out, while McGraw berated the aging pitchers for underestimating the bench tactician.
