Known as "The Bible of Baseball," which covered the end of Steve Dalkowski's Career?
Steve Dalkowski Stephen Louis Dalkowski (born June 3, 1939), nicknamed Dalko, is an American retired left-handed pitcher. He is sometimes called the fastest pitcher in baseball history and had a fastball that probably exceeded 100 mph . Some experts believed it went as fast as 125 mph , others that his pitches traveled at 120 mph or less. As no radar gun or other device was available at games to measure the speed of his pitches precisely, the actual top speed of his pitches remains unknown. Regardless of its actual speed, his fastball earned him the nickname "White Lightning". Such was his reputation that despite never reaching the major leagues, and finishing his minor league years in class-B ball, the 1966 "Sporting News" item about the end of his career was headlined "LIVING LEGEND RELEASED."
