//(That night) I could have put a cup on either corner of the plate and hit it. – Harvey Haddix //
Talent aside, When you are on you are on.. I guess no other answer!!
Right.
And I think I can tell you from some very serious baseball playing in my past ....... that Harvey's cold may have strangely helped him get into that "zone" he was in. He was a great artist on the mound, he could paint the corners, but he was pretty sick that day and night. I have found over the years that many athletes do miraculously excellent things when they are under the weather.
