Default Three Finger Brown B-Day
I saw that Brown was born on this date in 1876. I lifted the two images from the "Can't Have Too Many Cards " blog. I had never actually seen the "Three Fingers"

Bet with those twisted, missing and stubby digits, old Mordecai's pitches would be tough to hit.

I read today that he had an awesome-plus curve and that his sinker "acted the a bizzare knuckleball"

The article also states that Brown kept the corn shucker that destroyed his hand as a seven year old. He stored it in his garage until he died, more than happy to drag it out and show the curious folk. I wonder what ever became of that piece of "memorabilia"?
