Book excerpt: Eddie Plank won 326 games and has the most complete games and shutouts by a left-handed pitcher in Major League history.

This biography of Plank sorts out the truth and the myths--and everything in between--as he made his way from a college team in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, all the way to the Hall of Fame, 20 years after his death. Along the way, readers will discover what made Plank so great, the secrets behind his famous crossfire delivery, and more.
