Starr earned the nickname Iron Man by pitching both ends of more than 40 minor league
doubleheaders during his 20-year career. Each season he followed the unusual practice
of pitching fastballs and curves for two hours on the first day of spring training.
As a wartime pitcher with the Reds, he won 15 games in 1942.
