[Athletics vs. Unions 6/26/1866] bothered [the Unions] badly. It will never do for any one, that expects to make his base, to hit “Dick’s” high balls. If the Unions had known and acted upon this at first, they might, perhaps, have saved those three “skunks.” New York Dispatch July 1, 1866

A striking contrast was afforded all present by the fair pitching of McBride compared with that last seen on the same grounds; McBride sending in a ball with a perfectly straight arm swinging perpendicularly from his shoulder, and swiftly from within a few inches of the ground, the ball rising up to the bat as Creighton’s used to. New York Sunday Mercury July 1, 1866
