"Rube" has always been one of my favorite prewar players. I was just talking the other day with my daughters fiance, about the most intimidating pitchers of all time. One look at Rube and you can tell he's loonier than a $hit house rat. Jacob maintained Randy Johnson as the most intimidating. I mention Ryan Duren, with coke bottle shades and a blazing fastball put fear in many a batters heart. Though nothing like the great Rube Waddell!
