Carl Mays, veteran submarine
hurler, will be trying another come
back when the season opens in
April. This time it will be as a
member of the New York Giants.
In 1923 Mays was considered all
washed up and the Yankees waved
him out Of the American league. He
landed with the Cincinnati Reds
and proceeded to startle the base
ball world by coming back to win 20
games while losing only nine in 1924.
And again in 1926 Carl reached his
heights and nearly pitched the Reds
to the National league pennant. He
won 10 games and lost II that year.
