Player Biography
The greatest master of the legal spitball, “Big Ed” Walsh averaged 24 victories per season for the Chicago White Sox during a seven-year span from 1906 to 1912. The right-hander is best remembered for his amazing 1908 season, when he finished with a 40-15 record, 42 complete games, 11 shutouts, 269 strikeouts and a 20th century record of 464 innings pitched. During a six-year period, he averaged 375 innings a season. “Although I worked hard in the mines,” he said during that run, “I work harder when I play ball.”
