I am currently reading a biography of Walter Johnson who Marberry was teammate in the 1920's. Marberry was a true intimidator out of the bullpen. He was big and didn't hesitate to throw inside. One time when he was knocked out of a game against the Yankees. As he was walking out he was being rode hard by the Yankee bench. He stopped and looked into the Yankee dugout and said I will take on Ruth first and any of the rest of you right now! It was certainly a different game in those days.
