southpaw

The four-part story of Henry Wiggen begins with The Southpaw, which was published a year after The Natural.

He was one of the pitchers who when he was good was very good indeed, and on that day his southpaw slants were simply unhittable.

Then a veritable torrent of hits broke from the Bostons bats and drove the southpaw from the mound.

At the age when its purity was whitest, a great moon hung midway between Southpaw peak and Moon mountain.

The enemy over in Southpaw had already advanced the prophecy that they would take the meeting-house.

Over in Southpaw the enemy gazed down from the heights upon this spectacle in amazement.
