Who was the first pitcher who threw a curve ball?

Baseball historians credit the invention of the curve to either Candy Cummings or Fred Goldsmith. Cummings pitched for six years in the major leagues between 1872-1877. He said he thought of the idea of the curveball while studying the movement sea shells made when thrown. He attempted to make the same motion with a baseball and in doing so created the curveball. Goldsmith was a pitcher in the U.S and Canada in the same time frame as Cummings. He was the first pitcher to demonstrate throwing it to members of the media in 1870.

What is a curve ball in baseball?

A curveball is a type of pitch in baseball that actually curves as it reaches home plate. A curveball is not a good pitch for young children to throw, because to throw a curveball, you must flick your wrist, which is not good for a young child's wrist. There have been debates on whether a curveball actually curves, or if the pitch actually curves when it reaches the plate. Some nicknames for a curveball are "the bender," "the hook," "Uncle Charlie," "the hammer," "the yakker," "Public Enemy Number 1," or "a breaking pitch."
