Player Biography
“Happy Jack” Chesbro was an early spitball ace whose 1904 performance with the New York Highlanders still rates among the game’s most remarkable seasons. He started 51 games, completed 48 and was the victor in 41, while hurling 455 innings. From 1901 to 1906, he won 153 games – an average of better than 25 per season – recording 198 wins in an 11-year career. Hurling for two pennant winners in Pittsburgh, Chesbro was a league leader in wins, winning percentage, shutouts, games started and appearances two times each; and once each in complete games and innings.
