I was a little boy when old Satch pitched his last major league game in 1957, but I’m also a student of baseball history. When people like Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams (the best hitters of their era) praise Satch as one of the best, even the best, pitcher they ever had to face, I tend to beleive them. Neither Joe nor Ted had a habit of passing out praise where it wasn’t due.
Sorry for the typo.
