For the first four seasons of his Major League career, Jack Coombs was an average Pitcher at best and did not have any remarkable moments. He was 35-35, and in 1910, his season started so poorly that he was demoted to the bullpen. The legend has it that he rediscovered his overhand curve, and he went on a tear that had no equal in Athletics history.
