Not a hall of famer but what a career. Here are come quick info on him

1) played in same era as walter johnson. There were debates who was better at the time- and many picked smoky joe wood
2) was 34-5 in 1912
3) won 16 straight decisions
4) retired with a 2.03 era
5) injured his arm and went to the outfield - In fact had 92 rbis in his last season in 1922 at age of 32

Single signed balls from players from that era are tough! Sick pickup.

Thanks. Comes with a jsa cert. it is single signed and for some reason I have yet to find one one the sweet spot. I just had no idea that he was in the same category as walter johnson before he got hurt ( at such a young age too).
