Eddie Plank was one of Connie Mack's favorite guys. Eddie was a farmer from Gettysburg. Eddie did not smoke, nor chew tobacco. And,
he seldom drank alcoholic beverages.

Eddie drove the opposing teams crazy with his slow and deliberate style of pitching. A complete game pitched by Plank would go 2 hours.
That was considerably longer than most typical games played in the early 20th Century.
