~RIMES never has thrown that
" splitter as often as supposed
For years he chucked an as
sortment of stuff to the batters And
got away with that kind of pitching
wonderfully well, too.
There are days when the splitter
will not break for him. When that
happens. don't fool around with it,
Grimes is quoted as saying, Il chuck
it right away. With my fast ball
back now. it doesn't make so much
difference when it doesn't break for
me"
But when Grimes is in there pitch
ing, he will be bringing his hands
up to his mouth on every pitch. He'll
be taking as spitball pitchers always
did And that won't help the bat
ters at all.
With the Yankees, the oldtimer
