Text | It is said of Keefe that he can have four bad balls called on him and then strike the batsman out. He has performed this feat on the Polo Grounds time and again. Some incredulous persons have said that it was more dumb luck than good judgment, and whether they are right is not known, but he has performed the feat so often that people in New York are of the opinion that there is something more than dumb luck back of it. It certainly proves what has so often been said of him, that he has perfect command of the ball, and that he wastes those balls to deceive the batsman, as the latter will not expect the next three balls to come over the home plate. St., quoting the Boston Herald |
