Who's Luther "Dummy" Taylor?

A flamboyant pitcher with an unorthodox corkscrew delivery, Dummy Taylor first caught the attention of the New York Giants with his fastball, but he also had a good curve and developed what one Detroit sportswriter called "the best drop ball delivered across the plate by any pitcher."

"One day it was pouring rain, but umpire Hank O'Day refused to call the game. Taylor ducked into the clubhouse and returned wearing huge rubber boots and twirling a bright yellow umbrella. O'Day yelled furiously at Dummy as he clowned around in the coach's box, but the deaf pitcher pretended not to notice."

Thanks for the laffs Nathan.

Joe, I didn't know the Giants survived that iceberg ramming!.. Great old photo.
