George Plimpton's "tribute" to Carl Hubbell. From Plimpton's book, "Out of My League":
"Carl Hubbell with his screwball was a particular hero. I'd read somewhere, that the effect of his screwball, delivered with a violent inward snap of the wrist, put such a strain over the years on his arm that when he stood relaxed, with his arms down at his sides, the palm of his pitching arm faced out. When I stood around at the age of eleven, having read this, I did the same - faced the palm out, hoping that it would be associated with screwball pitching, and not with a malformation of the arm, which is what it looked like. One day my father finally said: 'What's wrong with your arm, son? You fall out of a window?'
'Well, that's from screwball pitching,' I said."
