Question: is tug mcgraw related to john mcgraw?
Answer: (It did, but not before he'd won 253 games.) John McGraw, whose New York Giants had been dominant behind Christy Mathewson's “fadeaway” — a successful right-handed version of the pitch — signed Hubbell in 1928. John McGraw was long dead by the time Tug McGraw (no relation) was making his way back to the big leagues.
