[Eckford vs. Union of Morrisania 7/30/1863] Wood, as usual, opening play by making his first base by his good batting, finally securing his run by two overpitches of Hannegan. These overpitches are peculiar to Hannegan’s play as pitcher, and they result from a too great eagerness on his part to put out players by throwing to bases. Very few pitchers possess the art of turning round from watching a base, and suddenly sending in the ball accurately to the batsman, and certes Hannegan is not one of them.
