If you could go back in Time

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

It was in 1887 that a batter could no longer specify a high or low ball from the pitcher. And during that year a pitcher had to record four strikes in order to achieve a K. I believe that in this year Toad Ramsey struck out 17 batters in a game. With four strikes required for each, I think that this level of dominance outshines the accomplishments of modern pitchers, and Id like to watch it. Particularly since most batters were contact hitters.
