Carl Hubbell - Detroit Tigers
I have always found it interesting that Carl Hubbell was in the Detroit Tigers organization for a short time. He pitched in the minors for them and was invited to spring training in 1926 and again in 1927. Ty Cobb & the Tigers weren't impressed with his screwball and told him not to use it. They sold him in 1928 and the rest is history. Screwed up on that one.
