A "Powerhouse" delivery?


How often is Raymond Scott referenced in the sports section? There's always a first time. Aaron Schafer, St. Louis Riverfront Times, Cards vs. Nats recap, June 6:

It was still a great game, you know. Joe Mather collected the first of what I think will be many major league home runs, and Mark Worrell collected the first of what I think will be very, very few. By the way, speaking of Worrell, does anyone else hear Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in their head as Worrell whirls into that Rube Goldberg delivery of his? Personally, I have no idea how one even begins to go about throwing a ball the way he does, but it sure is fun to watch.
