Jim Meier Enters Hall Of Fame Monday, January 31st , 1972 The hallowed halls of baseball have been enlarged. Today a great pitcher was added to its list of legends as perennial all-star Jim Meier was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. He was famous for his quirky motion. Meier baffled hitters with a rocking, twisting windup and an assortment of release points that ranged from over the top to nearly underhand. Many batters said, "He threw everything at me but the ball." Meier posted a lifetime 270-167 record with a 3.20 ERA and whiffed 1962 batters in 4044 innings. He retired at age 37. |
