Who was he?Add what he did there to his regular season stats ... winning percentage is right about .712!

Actually several years ago we couldn't figure out who that player was next to Lou Gehrig...

Looks like the direction that his eyes were pointing was doctored, but otherwise the photo looks identical.
A guy who couldn't get the ball over the plate, but who was a pretty good pitcher.Cool

Also one of 10 Yankee pitchers who have pitched no-hitters.
Thankyou for seconding that, Mitch. Awesome that you found it. But you're about a year late.
Now you have to work on identifying the misidentified Boardwalk Brown (or did you ever solve that one?)!
