Sunday Pitchers

I've been tired of hearing about Clemens for the past couple months and about the Yankees for the past five years but all the hype has compelled Al Doyle to write-up a short history of "Sunday ptichers".

[In 1944] Denny Galehouse couldn't quit his war-related factory job in Akron, Ohio, since leaving would expose him to the military draft. Desperate for scarce talent, the Browns decided to let Galehouse catch a train on Saturday to wherever the team was playing the next day. The right-hander would appear in the first game of the Sunday doubleheader and immediately return home.
