Years ago I asked Connla Mack this question and he had a ready answer His pick was Charles Albert Bender the Chippewa Chief the wiry Indian who was not only a great pitcher but always at hli best when the blue chips were on the line “We’ve had some pretty fair pitchers on the Athletica In our time Connie mean said ” i (EWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK 149 New Montgomery SL Baa Fraacisco Calif j Enclose 16

was always at hia game you S—peak had to win On that" Grantland Rice one day you knew Oe would be at his best — and the million dollars would only key him ub —not let him down “I know there have been better pitchers over a season or through many years But in a pinch where the pressure was heavy where the stake was high Bender was a hard man to beat And he would be Just as cool and as relaxed for a million as he would be for a dime” After this talk I put the same problem up to Frank Frisch one of the smartest men baseball has ever produced one of its greatest Ur w competitors Picks Dizzy Dean "Bender was a little before my day” Frank said “Under the conditions you have named I think my pick would be Dizzy Dean Dizzy was not only a great pitcher but he also loved the spotlight Also the pressure His biggest thrill was In meeting Carl HubbelL But competing against any star pitcher delighted Dean And don’t forget that a great pitchDizzy had everything er needs — blazing speed — a fine curve ball—change of pace— good control — and above all unbeatable in Dizzy Dean confidence “With a million dollars at stake Diziy would have been unbeatable at least as close t unbeatable under such conditions as anyone I ever uw Fur hr would have revelled at such a chance Even a billion dollars would never have bothered Ole Dlx That’s what I mean by naming anch a pitcher" Remember this ia not a
