Posted By: <b>Nathan</b><p>Who's Luther "Dummy" Taylor? <br /><br />A flamboyant pitcher with an unorthodox corkscrew delivery, Dummy Taylor first caught the attention of the New York Giants with his fastball, but he also had a good curve and developed what one Detroit sportswriter called "the best drop ball delivered across the plate by any pitcher."<br /><br />More bio at <a href="http://bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&pid=14004&bid=987" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&pid=14004&bid=987</a><br /><br />Here's some cards and images of Taylor...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/taylor001small.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/taylor002small.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/taylor003small.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/taylor004small.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/taylor005small.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/08-e91.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/11-t206-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/w600-small.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/04-all.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/05-pc782.jpg"><img src="http://www.zonefish.com/images/taylor/06-fancraze.jpg"><br /><br />Bigger scans/photos/checklists available at my website...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zonefish.com/luthertaylor.php">Luther Taylor</a><br /><br />Happy Holidays to all!<br />Nathan<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>"One day it was pouring rain, but umpire Hank O'Day refused to call the game. Taylor ducked into the clubhouse and returned wearing huge rubber boots and twirling a bright yellow umbrella. O'Day yelled furiously at Dummy as he clowned around in the coach's box, but the deaf pitcher pretended not to notice."<br /><br />Thanks for the laffs Nathan.<br /><br />Joe, I didn't know the Giants survived that iceberg ramming!.. Great old photo.
