15. unfortunately, its not very clear

Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 02:37 PM by AllegroRondo

as there were not a lot of good records kept for the Negro Leagues. But, for example, in 1934 he had a 31-4 record.

His first season in the majors, at the age of 42, he went 6-1 with one save.

His biography makes some pretty outlandish claims, such as winning 104 of 105 starts for the Bismark team, and pitching 29 games in one month for the same team. Hard to tell how much of that is true and how much is embellished. Joe DiMaggio faced him in the minor leagues, and called him the best pitcher he had ever seen.
