Although his contract rights were several times acquired by major-league clubs, Deadball Era right-hander Jimmy Lavender never received much chance to demonstrate his worth – until misapprehension of minor-league draft rules left the Chicago Cubs with little other choice. Once given the opportunity, Lavender quickly established himself as a competent major-league hurler, eventually putting two memorable victories over the New York Giants onto his résumé. In July 1912 he brought Rube Marquard’s celebrated 19-game winning streak to an end, besting the future Hall of Famer, 7-2. Three years later, Jimmy threw a no-hitter at New York. Key to these triumphs, and to Lavender’s professional success, was his mastery of a single pitch: the spitball. - SABR
