Nothing But A Glove Best Pitchers Against Jinx Clubs
Baseball writers note the season’s pattern of pitchers repeatedly facing a given team with mixed luck. Wilbur Cooper and others often faced tough jinxes, while George Uhle finally broke through after five tries. Across leagues, pitchers like Pennock, Ehmke, and Harriss endured repeated defeats before margins shifted, leaving the jinxes to renew next year.
