John Joseph "Oyster Joe" Martina

Supposedly traded in 1921 from Beaumont to New Orleans for two bushels of oysters.

Major League record:

1924 Washington (World's Champs), at the age of 34:

6 - 8, 4.67 era.

That's it. I'm sure hardly a person in Washington hear of him.

Now, his minor league record is a "bit" different story:

21 Seasons: 349 - 277, 2.25 era
