The narrative traces Herb Pennock through 1910s baseball, noting three decisive early games, later a 11-4 1914 season mark with the Athletics, a 1915 mix of teams and a 1917 return to form in Buffalo, before a dramatic 1918-1920 rebound and a final tally of 75 wins and 71 losses across ten seasons.
