Since nobody else is playing, I'm gonna guess Christy Matthewson, possibly tied with someone else, but I can't remember who.
Just read a book about the NY Giants from the John McGraw era.
Currently reading COBB, and by the way, Ty Cobb was effing crazy.

Which player hit a homerun off Nolan Ryan on his first major league swing?
yup, and star spangled banner was orginally played in 1918 during the seventh game of the world series, it was more or less spontaneous by the band there.

Yep, and Will Clark was the man.

Carlton would have likely duplicated the feat in 1972, had it not been for the players strike. That probably cost the last place Phils a 100 loss season (59-97), to go with Carlton's 27-10 record.
I would have guessed Carlton, but wouldn't have assumed i was right, but he had an incrible year, on a terrible team.Quote:
