First master of the split-finger fastball. As a long-suffering Cubs fan in the '70's, I really hated seeing Bruce traded away, especially to the Cards. Man, you'd think the curse of Lou Brock would have been retired after 15 years. Still, he had six more saves in five seasons with the Cubs than he totaled with St. Louis, but I guess the WS ring was why he went into the Hall as a Cardinal.
