Bees (Kiddo Davis Lg.) & Havana (Antiquity Lg.) sponsor(s) this page.

This fantastic pitcher for yesteryear's great Cardinals--before they moved to the NL or were called the Cardinals--was born precisely 99 years before me and in the same place. Thanks, BRef, for helping me learn colorful history and often win at DM & OOTP!
