Despite his diminutive 5'3, 127 pound frame, Larry Corcoran was a dominant pitcher in the 19th century, pitching baseball's 6th, 10th and 15th no-hitters.

One of baseball’s early curveball masters, Corcoran was a part of three pennant-winning Chicago teams. He was a true workhorse, averaging 456 innings pitched and 34 wins per season for five years, until his arm, understandably, burned out. Unable to adjust to life outside of baseball, he turned to alcohol and died at the age of 32, broke, and was buried in an unmarked grave in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Newark.
