This work is a biography of Carl Hubbell, a baseball legend who was active in the 1930s for the New York Giants and an eight-time All-Star. Hubbell was a left-handed ace from Oklahoma who is still regarded as one of the greatest pitchers of all time and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. With an emphasis on his pitching career, this biography covers both his personal life and his development as a player.
The late Lowell L. Blaisdell, a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, taught history for more than 40 years before retirement. He lived in Texas.

“A solid piece of scholarship...fun to read...with a boyish energy and excitement, it covers an often overlooked hall of famer pitching in one of the most interesting eras and against some of the biggest legends in baseball history”—Nine.
