The Ace of National League Hurlers
Burleigh Grimes The last legal spitball pitcher—he retired in 1933 with 270 wins—he and Dazzy Vance anchored the Brooklyn pitching staff from 1922 to 1926. He led the Dodgers to the 1920 NL pennant and did the same with the Cardinals a decade later, in the twilight of his career, 1930 and 1931.
A fierce competitor, he gave no quarter and was known for his brushback pitches. Grimes was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1964, along with Miller Huggins.
