"Some pitchers resort to eccentric movements in an attempt to disconcert the batsman. This brings to mind Alex Ferguson, who pitched for Washington a few years ago. In every wind-up, he used a little twist of the wrist motion, similar to that emlpoyed by the sleight of hand artist." - Umpire George Moriarty in Baseball Magazine (July 1927)
