"That old paw served me pretty well in its time. It gave me a firmer grip on the ball so I could spin it over the hump. It gave me a greater dip." - Mordecai 'Three Finger' Brown Here is Brown's page at the Baseball Hall Of Fame: baseballhall.org/hof/brown-mordecai

"Three-finger" Brown, past his prime in this picture, made it to the Hall of Fame: www.cmgww.com/baseball/brown/ In the full view you can see how he got his nickname.

Anyone know what the tower in the background is?
Wystan said:
@slack13: Since it is elevated, my guess is the hilltop tower contains a water storage tank.

Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown (1876-1948); he had a damaged hand after a farm accident, but the unique architecture of his hand worked for him--he had a killer curveball. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordecai_Brown
