Jittery Joe Berry Shocks Baseball as Ace Hurler for A's
Philadelphia May 18. Pitcher Jittery Joe Berry walked into the Athletics camp as a stranger and impressed Connie Mack with a curve. He has since won four games with two perfect innings, and held opponents hitless in eight of his victories. Berry, 38, from Huntsville Arkansas, spent 17 years in the minors and had a 18 win season with Tulsa. The A's bought him in winter and he mixes speeds and motions that baffle hitters. Standing 5'11" and 145 pounds, he resembles Mack and earned the veteran’s trust.
