Earle Gardner
Earle Gardner played five seasons for the New York Highlanders in the years immediately before they became known as the Yankees. In 1910, Highlanders pitcher Russ Ford, who had learned how to throw the emery ball, confided his secret only with Ed Sweeney, his catcher, as well as Gardner and Eddie Foster, his roommates. While playing with Toledo in 1912, Gardner taught Cy Falkenberg how to throw Ford's emery ball which considerably helped Falkenberg's career.
