Ewell Blackwell Autographs
Ewell Blackwell was an American baseball player who was born on October 23, 1922, in Fresno, California. He started his baseball career in high school and was quickly recruited by the Cincinnati Reds in 1942. Due to World War II, he was drafted into the army and served for three years. Blackwell made his major league debut in 1946 where he quickly became known as one of the best pitchers in the game.
During his career, Blackwell was nicknamed "The Whip" for his delivery that was described as "violent and hard to hit". He was known for his fastball and slider which he threw from a 6-foot-6-inch frame. In 1949, he had his best season with 22 wins and only eight losses. Blackwell was selected to the All-Star team six times and was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1960.
Blackwell was a dominant pitcher until 1953 when he suffered a shoulder injury that cut his career short. He attempted to make a comeback but eventually retired in 1955. Despite his shortened career, Blackwell remains one of the most notable pitchers in baseball history. His lifetime stats include 82-78 win-loss record, 1,283 strikeouts, and a 3.30 ERA. He was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Baseball Reliquary in 2002.
