Negative. He started in Baltimore.

Also correct -

Lazzeri
Ernie Lombardi
Freddie Lindstrom
George Kelly
Waite Hoyt
Sam Thompson

There is actually one pre-1900 answer left - I guess there were 17 total answers.

Any other guesses?

I thought the remaining answer was going to be Tim Keefe -- it's not, but when I checked, I found out the correct answer (another pitcher). But since I actually had to look it up, I won't say it here.

The final answer whose career began in 1875 and ended in 1892, both in St. Louis.

Pud Galvin. Though that depends on whether you consider the National Association a major league. Does MLB officially consider it one now? They didn't when the original Baseball Encyclopedia was compiled, but that may have changed.

Pud Galvin was the final answer on my list. Not sure about whether it is officially recognized or not, but I was just going off of the list I had seen.

And Leo Durocher was inducted as a manager and not as a player, which is why he wasn't on the list. But yes, otherwise he would be an answer.

I thought it was a fun question - thanks to all for playing along!
