One of the greatest pitchers of his era, William Arthur "Candy"
Cummings was born in 1848, when baseball was in its infancy. As the
game evolved through the 1870s, Candy's invention, the curveball,
played a transformative role. His stamp on baseball earned him a
place in the Hall of Fame. Drawing on extensive research, this
first full-length biography traces Candy's New England heritage and
chronicles his rise to the top, from pitching for amateur teams in
mid-1860s Brooklyn to playing in the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Players-the first major league-and then the
newly-formed National League. A critical examination of the
evidence and competing claims reveals that Cummings was, indeed,
the originator of the curveball.
