"I had thrown it off my thumb, just experimenting. If (Roger) Bresnahan had not been so insistent I wouldn't have paid much attention to the pitch, nor remembered what I had done. he made me repeat it, and work on the delivery until I could throw it any timel and many a hole that change of pace pulled me out of. Unlike most changes I could throw it on any pitch, to any hitter, and to almost any spot, for it came up perfectly concealed out of my natural pitching move." - Doc Crandall in Pitching in a Pinch (Christy Mathewson, 1912)
