Deadball Trivia

Now I found another one who did it, a HOFer. But I cheated again.

[trdcrdkid]

Oh, I found another HOFer who did it.

You can limit your reply to the number of innings pitched by your answer rather than the name.

Actually there may be multiple pairs as they didn't call this the deadball era for nothing.

[trdcrdkid]

I found a fourth one, a non-HOFer. All four that I've found are in T206.

Question revised to accommodate Mr. Kathman.

[trdcrdkid]

Frank -- after doing more research, I've found that there were only two guys who did this after 1910, and with that limitation your (almost original) question would have been correctly answerable. I found four guys who did it between 1900 and 1910, one of whom did it twice. Two of the six guys who did this are not in T206, one pre-1910 and one post-1910.

[frankbmd]

The two I have after 1910 both did it in the same year and both faced Ruth.

I'll guess that one of them was Eddie Plank. He would have done it before Ruth was in the majors.

Plank - No

With six answers so far, this question is beginning to rival the following:

Name all the PGA golfers who have had a hole in one.

Matty, Cicotte, Coombs, Ames, Chesbro, Wood, Leever?

Kathman checked them all from 1871 until 1921.

Rob, I believe you are 0 for 7.

I would exclude the pre 1900 entries (4).

I believe there are 7 others, but one T206er did it twice.

After 1910 there are only two, WaJo and Ruth both in 1916. (note: in 1916 WaJo faced Ruth and Ruth faced Ruth every day in the mirror)

The 1901-1910 group is an interesting mix.
