"One of his complaints was that over the last few years in St. Louis and Los Angeles he was just being used as a gate attraction to sell tickets. He felt it would be the same way in Chicago." Holcomb said he told Allen: "We want you as a player and for nothing else. I told -him he would be with a professional club that was a good one, that it wasn't a bunch of misfits. The next move is up to him.

I don't plan to try and contact him any more."

Brought To You by Ed Sampson Here's a baseball oddity: Did you know that the pitcher who struck out more batters per inning than any other pitcher in the history of professional baseball never got a chance to pitch in the majors? He was a boy named Steve Dal-kowski who spent, nine years in the minors between 1957 and 1965.

In his minor league career, he struck out 1,396 batters in 995 innings. No other pitcher in pro ball ever came close to that strikeout ratio yet Dalkowski could never improve his control (he walked 1,354 men) and sa he never made the majors. Thus Steve Dalkowski was the greatest strikeout pitcher of all time yet never earned big league fame. Here's a tricky sports puzzler for you.
