I know well the best Gettysburg born baseball player, although I do not know the top Gettysburg restaurant. Think fast -- who is the third best left handed player of all time, having 326 victories?
Eddie Plank, a boy from a Gettysburg farm. Sure, how could I forget about him?
He was born 10 years post Civil War, and the wily southpaw pitched for 17 seasons in the major leagues, triumphing in 20 games in eight different seaasons, all the while assisting Connie Mack's never to be forgotten Philadelphia A's in gaining six American League pennants.
Ensuring the journey to Gettysburg Eddie's was worth the time and effort, I was dazzled by the 24 black and white pictures of classic ballplayers, such as this photograph of Plank shaking hands with Johnny Evers of the Boston Braves in advance of the 1914 World Series, the photograph of Walter "Big Train" Johnson, that of Tris Speaker, and the youthful, angelic faced Boston Red Sox legend Babe Ruth, yet another one-time left handed player.
The wool outfits, high stockings and beefy-baseball glove-sporting Gettysburg College teams of 1900 and 1901 were also featured in several terrific photographs.
On top of all that, when I finally took a seat after drooling over their memorabilia, the food proved to be decent as well. Mostly American dinner pub food, all the dishes were well-cooked, fresh, and made just to order, although it does not aspire to be a luxury diner. All the food was cooked in an ecologically green method, I found out in talking with our wonderful waitress Vicki.
Choosing to feature the area legendary pitcher instead, this restaurant was renamed from the original Gingerbread Man concept by the same owner Bill Wills, our waitress explained. (It was a little welcome variety, I considered, after all the Civil War obsession that overhangs this little town.)
With a nice flat screen television for watching ballgames, of course, and a solid beer list, this restaurant's bar is hidden in the rear. Pretty much partitioned off from the quaint main dining area, this place could get a little raucous on a football season Sunday night, maybe.
Gettysburg Eddie's scored a total victory, according to my stats. Distinguishing itself with the personal feeling and quality service, this place does not get pretentious and is in safe territory with the standard American pub menu.
For becoming among the first certified ecologically friendly restaurants in Pennsylvania, this place should be given a rousing round of applause.
Homerun, Gettysburg Eddie's.
