Player Biography
James Francis “Pud” Galvin was baseball’s first 300-game winner. Short and stocky, “The Little Steam Engine” was a tireless worker with a hard fastball and a deceptive pick-off move. Called “the speediest pitcher in his profession,” Galvin pitched for 15 major league seasons, earning 20 or more victories 10 times and twice topping the 40-win mark. When he retired in 1892, he was the all-time major league leader in wins, innings pitched, games started, games completed and shutouts. His nickname “Pud,” referred to his pitching ability, which turned opposing batters into “pudding.”
