Text | [from an interview of Charles Mason] A few years we had plenty of pitchers, but to-day they are getting rarer and good ones are a very scarce article. The East has been scoured for good men, and it is an impossibility to find any in that section. Years ago every young player wanted to be a pitcher, but to-day things are different. These well-founded stories of men lasting only a few years in the box keeps the rising material from becoming pitchers. I have often asked youngsters why it is that they don't become pitchers instead of catchers or fielders, and the universal answer has been that pitchers don't last long. |
