Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown (1876–1948) enjoyed one of the most remarkable pitching careers in baseball history, overcoming a severe childhood hand injury to become a Deadball Era ace. His mangled right hand—losing most of the index finger in a farming accident and further damage from chasing a rabbit—created a unique grip that produced exceptional movement on his pitches, especially a sharp, dropping curveball (sometimes described as a knuckle curve) with heavy spin, paired with a deceptive fastball and changeup. He developed pinpoint control by throwing rocks at barn knot-holes as a boy.
