Battery Charger is Frank Shellenback, new Red Sox pitching coach, who was deprived of a chance to make good in the major leagues because he was a spitball pitcher who was developed after the no-spitter rule went into effect. Nonetheless, Frank is a cagey, canny student of the game, and a welcome addition to the board of strategy.
