Spitball Return Urged by Los Angeles Manager
Fullerton based Bill Sweeney, entering his 16th Pacific Coast League season, argued for bringing back the spitball and old fashioned play. He criticized modern power hitting and said the game has become too complex, preferring the era when the ball was deader and players needed more all around skills. He cited Gene Mauch as an example of a versatile player and blamed big swings with little thinking.
