  Red Faber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Cascade, Iowa, Faber started well in the minor leagues, pitching a perfect game in 1910; but he developed a sore arm in his early 20s, and as a recourse began using the spitball in 1911.
Faber came back two days later to go the distance in the clinching Game 6 at the Polo Grounds, picking up his third win of the Series by a 4-2 score.
The spitball was phased out after the 1920 season, with Faber one of the 17 pitchers permitted to use it for the remainder of their careers; and he took advantage of Comiskey Park's spacious dimensions, surrendering only 91 home runs - barely one homer per month - from 1920 to 1931.

There was also the small matter of Iraq: Todd Swift organised the rapid response of 100 Poets Against the War (Salt, £9.99), while Faber hurriedly (and, some said, opportunistically) counter-attacked with its own 101 Poems Against War (£8.99).
Here is a book entirely committed to the efforts of women and men throughout the past century to unite against injustice and inequality, dream of a better world, fight for it, grieve their losses, and still keep faith.
Otherwise, there have been a number of hefty collected poems to enjoy: a chance to see how artists develop their ideas and approaches over a lifetime, rather than glimpsing the flashing ankles of their anthology pieces.
