The surprise starter for Game 1, Ehmke made baseball history when he set the Fall Classic record for Ks. The move to start him was called by Bill James, "the most brilliant managerial stratagem in the history of baseball”. There's a story on the site about it here.

Jim,
That's a great letter with outstanding content about Cobb from one of the greatest managerial minds in the game.
