Paul Pettit
George William Paul Pettit (born November 29, 1931 in Los Angeles, California) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1951 and 1953. ==Early life== Born and raised in Los Angeles, Pettit graduated from Narbonne H.S. in Harbor City, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul Pettit )〕 He was known as the "Wizard of Whiff." As an amateur—in high school, for the semipro Signal Oilers—he pitched six no-hitters, three of them in a row, and struck out 945 batters in 549 innings. In one 12-inning high school game, he struck out 27 batters. In 1949, movie producer Frederick Stephani was looking to make a baseball movie but could not afford the story of an established star. Instead, Stephani scouted high school athletes with major league prospects, and eventually signed Pettit for $85,000. Upon his graduation in 1950, Pettit was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who bought his contract from Stephani (though Stephani retained film rights), plus an additional $15,000. This sum was a new record, and made Pettit baseball's first $100,000.00 bonus baby.〔
