What two myths of the sporting world were debunked in the late 19th century?
In the early 1870's two major controversies became issues that were solved. In 1878, the governor of California won a $50,000 wager on whether a galloping race horse would have all four feet off the ground at the same time. Photography proved the governor correct as it clearly dispaled the hooves all in the air at the same time.The other controversy revolved around the baseball "curve ball". National magazines that carried the story had experts on both sides of the question of this pitch. One prominent expert claimed the so-called curve ball was an optical illusion. One side claimed the reason the curve ball seemed to curve was the persistence of retinal impressions. The story continued like this: The constant story of a curving ball are doing much damage to men and children who have been deluded that the heroics of a great pitcher revolve around the curve of a curve ball. The other side used wind tunnel experiments to prove that the ball did "curve". It seems the question is now settled. Slow motion filming confirms the curve in the curve ball.
