Al Orth had an interesting career. Known as the "Curveless Wonder" because he wouldn't throw the curve, he pitched well enough to figure in 393 decisions in 15 MLB seasons, including leading MLB in wins in 1906. He also had 464 hits. He umpired when necessary as a player and once umpired and pinch hit in the same game. After his playing days were over, he became a full-time MLB umpire and in 1917 was the umpire when Toney and Vaughn each pitched 9 innings of no-hit baseball, the only time it has happened.
