Player Biography
“That old paw served me pretty well in its time,” said Mordecai Brown. “It gave me a firmer grip on the ball, so I could spin it over the hump. It gave me a greater dip.” After his pitching hand was mangled in a farm-machine accident as a youth, Brown became known as “Three-Finger.” Despite the injury, Brown was one of the best National League pitchers of the early-20th century winning 239 games – nearly 65 percent of his starts. He posted six 20-win seasons and once beat Christy Mathewson in nine straight matchups. Brown’s Chicago Cubs won four N.L. pennants and two World Series championships.
