Player Biography
Charles Radbourn was a legendary right-handed hurler for both the Providence Grays and Boston Beaneaters during the 1880s. “Old Hoss” won at least 20 games nine times, winning 310 games in only 11 seasons. Radbourn’s 1884 campaign (60 victories, 441 strikeouts and 73 complete games) remains unparalleled. “He had wonderful grit and perfect command,” said manager Frank Bancroft. “(Radbourn) could throw the ball where he wanted to, and that was just where the batsman did not want it, for no pitcher ever had the weaknesses of the batsmen who faced him down to a finer point than ‘Old Rad.’”
