Great info, Curt! Thank you.
I definitely agree that Hod Eller looked like a badass. He was an Indiana raised farm boy, from what I've read. Although he didn't pitch for many years, he had a very solid performance with the exception of his last year where injuries likely were the root issue. His career ERA was really quite good from what I've seen.
