Beaten by the Pitch: Chance and Elberfeld Hit by Hurlers
The piece recalls Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs and Elberfeld of the Philadelphia team being repeatedly struck by pitched balls. Chance, sidelined by headaches, was beaned 27 times while Elberfeld dodged many smashes, earning the nickname Tabasco Kid for drawing pitches. Grover Alexander and Connie Mack note early caution from Philadelphia pitchers and umpires, with Elberfeld doubly pressed until he learned to dodge, while Chance remained unable to escape.
