Don't see the overhand curve[12 to 6] anymore. Was a really tough, if not impossible, pitch to hit.
Best I ever saw:
Camilo Pascual--Washington Senators & other teams. Ted Williams said that Pascual had the most feared curveball in the Big Leagues for 18 years;
Sandy Koufax--LA Dodgers. Williams didn't face Koufax, who broke out just as Williams was going out. Pretty GD unhittable;
Carl Erskine--Brooklyn Dodgers. Great overhand Curve. Struck out 14 yanks in the Series.
The following may not have been quite [12 to 6], but were really close & tough to hit: Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, Bert Blyleven, Don Sutton, Herb Score.
