According to William Murdock in the April,1914 issue of "Outing Magazine", the first curve was used successfully in the spring of 1866 by Princeton pitcher Edmund Davis. At that time he began developing several styles of curves in order to make the Princeton starting team as a freshman in the summer of 1866, which he did (there were 6 teams at Princeton). His curves were so impressive that "during the winter Davis would pitch in the long hall at the west end of North College where the students gathered to watch and to attempt to catch the balls he would pitch". |
