The correct title is merely "Some Southpaw Pitching" and it was written as
one of Ives' piano studies in 1908.  Other baseball pieces by Ives are:

"All The Way Around And Back" (1906) a short orchestral piece- the batter
hits what looks like a homer and the runner on first makes it all the way
around to third, but it's a foul ball, at which point the "run" retrogrades
in diminuated form.

"Baseball Take-off" (1898) The pianist literally "hits a home run" by
slamming a baseball bat down onto the keyboard.  A few stray, quiet notes
struck afterward depict the homer sailing through the sky.
