Pitching for seven different franchises, fiery spitballer Burleigh Grimes posted five 20-win seasons and won
270 games over his 19-year career. Grimes was just 26 years old when the spitball was banned in 1920, but he
was one of 17 veteran hurlers exempted from the ban. He continued using the pitch effectively, helping his
teams to four World Series appearances and winning two Series games in 1931 at age 38 for the victorious
St. Louis Cardinals. When he retired in 1934, he was the last of the legal spitballers.
