名人堂投手
依照费城运动家队 (Philadelphia
Athletics) 的着名绅士经理康尼马克 (Connie
Mack) 的解释，假如您想赢球，族长 (Chief) 班德 (Charles
Albert Bender) 是您的最佳选择；有此绰号是因为他拥有四分之一的Chippewa印第安人血统；虽然因为许多人对美国原住民怀有偏见，因而他并不喜欢族长这个绰号，但他也没有抱怨；然而，他签名时只签查尔斯班德 (Charles
Bender) ；他的胜利场次超过200场，而且带领Athletics队参加五次的世界巡回比赛 (World
Series) ；班德的投法很特殊，他的投球介于快速球及曲球之间，后来被称之为滚球 (slider) 或五分曲球 (nickel
curve) ；它是现今许多投手的关键投球；班德于1953年入选名人堂。
Charles Albert "Chief" Bender was the pitcher you wanted if you had to win a game, according to Connie Mack, the famous gentleman manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. Bender got the nickname "Chief" because he was one-quarter Chippewa Indian. Although he didn't like the nickname Chief because many people were prejudiced against Native Americans, Bender didn't complain. He did, however, sign autographs as "Charles Bender." He won more than 200 games and led the A's to five World Series. Bender had a special pitch that was halfway between a fastball and a curve, which became known as the slider or "nickel curve." It's a key pitch in the arsenal of many pitchers today. Bender was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1953.
