Player notes: Hubbell was the game's dominant
pitcher during the Depression era, and is generally
regarded as one of the best left-handed pitchers in
history. (Bill James ranked him fourth in career value
among lefties.) He won 253 games over a 16 year career,
all with the Giants. He is perhaps best known for striking
out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons,
and Joe Cronin in succession during the 1934 All Star
game. The great master of the screwball and one of baseball's
all-time greats, Carl Hubbell is truly a player worth
remembering.
