Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> Baseball lost its best pitcher of all-time(biased opinion). 170-83 by age 25 with an amazing 5 year stretch including a 2.40 ERA pitching for the White Stockings in 1884 when they set the long standing home run records because of the outfield fences a mere 200 feet away.I think that 1884 season had alot to do with his early arm injuries he never recovered from.He also went 43-14 1.95 as a 20 year old rookie!<br /><br /> Enjoy all 6 versions of Larry Corcoran's OJ cards.Had to make the scan much smaller tho to be able to upload it but you get the idea<br /><br /><img src="http://myspace-436.vo.llnwd.net/01287/63/48/1287028436_l.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>He not only pitched for the White Stockings in 1884, he contributed a home run to their record total.<br /><br />I could have been a mammouth 400+ foot shot or an inside-the-parker. It does not matter. It is forever tainted by the mental asterisk that all of these players shamefully took to their graves. Solely because the wall was too close.<br /><br />It brings a tear to my eyes.<br /><br />Awesome way to collect, John!
