The old early 80s HOF card set I broke out and started scanning for my strat project has trivia questions on the back.
Which Hall of Fame pitcher would call his outfielders into the infield, sit them down around the mound and then strike out the side?

That is correct.

That is the answer on the back of the card, lol. He's definitely old enough to have been the first to throw a curve ball.
This next one is hard because the answer was not a player but an executive.
This Hall of Famer was a governor of Connecticut and a U.S. Senator. Who was he?
