Player Biography
In 1908, the New York Giants paid a then-record $11,000 for the contract of minor league southpaw Richard “Rube” Marquard. Three years later, he would lead the team to its first of three straight pennants (1911-1913). In 1912, Marquard earned victories in his first 19 decisions, finishing the season and leading the National League with 26 wins. In 1915, Marquard no-hit the Brooklyn Robins before brokering his own sale to the club, helping them win the N.L. Pennant the following year. A three-time 20-game winner, Marquard once said of his off-speed pitching style, “Any hitter can hit a fast one, but not many can hit slow ones.”
