Joe McGINNITY (HOF)

Biography

John J. McGraw says: “Joe McGinnity was one of the best pitchers I ever knew. He had all kinds of stuff—natural ability—but his greatness lay in his aptitude for remembering the weakness of opposing batters. In a pinch he knew what to do and how to do it. I never knew him to make the same mistake twice... He was pretty nearly as good as Matty.”
