\"brown\"<\/p>\n

American Major League Baseball pitcher and manager during the first two decades of the 20th century (known as the “dead-ball era”). Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth, Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand, and in the process gained a colorful nickname. He turned this handicap into an advantage by learning how to grip a baseball in a way that resulted in an exceptional curveball, which broke radically before reaching the plate. With this technique he became one of the elite pitchers of his era.<\/p>\n

\"Mordecai<\/p>\n

Brown was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame<\/a> in 1949.<\/p>\n
