Ray Caldwell - Get Back Up

Ray Caldwell was an American professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Cleveland Indians from 1910 to 1921. He was known for throwing the spitball and was one of the 17 pitchers allowed to continue throwing the pitch after it was outlawed in 1920. Caldwell was a pitcher of immense talent who had an enormous appetite for nightlife and a weakness for alcohol. Over the course of two decades, from 1910 to 1933, he won nearly 300 games, 133 of them in the majors. Caldwell was a handful, and the Yankees took him back for the 1917 and '18 seasons, but his continued off-the-field troubles got so bad that the team decided to hire two detectives to trail him 24 hours a day. When he consistently managed to slip his tail, the Yankees gave up and released him.
