Player Biography
Eppa Rixey, a tall and lean lefty, battled National League hitters for more than two decades. “How dumb can the hitters in this league get?” questioned Rixey in trying to explain his success. “When they’re batting with the count two balls and no strikes, or three and one, they’re always looking for the fastball. And they never get it.” He retired with 266 wins, then tops among N.L. southpaws. “(Rixey) was a fierce competitor and a hard loser,” said Clyde Sukeforth. “When he pitched, you didn’t have to ask who won the game – all you had to do was look at the clubhouse later.”
