Default The Saga of John Dobb

John Dobb, a 22 year old rookie, played in his first ML game on August 13, 1924. He pitched one scoreless inning for the White Sox in Boston.

He sat in the bull pen for 16 days

Seventeen days later on August 30, 1924, he pitched the bottom of the eighth in Cleveland in a game the Sox were already losing 6-9. He gave up 2 runs.

His lifetime ERA was 9.00. He never played in another game, but lived to the ripe old age of 89.

I doubt that he ever had a baseball card, but if anyone has one, let's see it.
