When Carter Browne makes his mid-season MBL debut as an ambidextrous reliever for the New York Americans in the ninth, and the batters can't hit him, the die is cast, as he takes his team from fifteen games out of first place to the postseason. But rather than describe the rest of the plot and its unexpected twists and turns, some of which are life-threatening, let's hear from those most involved, the players--those with him or against him.VisitorsHe's hard to figger, and he keeps you guessin' as you burn up the strikes.--Roy Higgins, Boston Blue SoxI heard so much about this kid. I just wanted to watch him throw. Then I was out.--Johnny Barilko, Baltimore EaglesWhat the hell is he trying to do, change the game? We don't need something we've never seen before to make this game innerestin'.--Bobby Valentino, Manager, Boston Blue SoxHomeYou gotta love him. Never misses a sign, intimidates the batters, and always throws strikes.--Tommy Sarbrucken, catcher, The New York AmericansWe think he's champion even if he's always reducing our workload. Beauty!--Bill Boyd, relief pitcher, The New York AmericansIf you think he's dangerous as a pitcher, wait till you see him hitting. The ball doesn't have a snowball's chance of seeing the catcher's glove!--Benny Wilder, hitting coach, The New York Americans
