David Luther Foutz was born in Carroll County, Maryland on September 7, 1856, the son of Solomon Augustus Foutz and Miriam Cook.〔(FamilySearch.org 1860 census )〕 Always known as Dave, he was asthmatic all his life. When he was 21 Foutz drifted out to Leadville, Colorado and worked for a while in the lead mines. While in Leadville, Foutz started playing baseball, pitching for the Leadville Blues, an amateur team. Shortly after, he signed with the Bay City, Michigan minor league team, where he played until 1884.〔〔(Phillipsburg Herald ), Phillipsburg, Kansas, April 22, 1897〕 By 1884, Foutz's talent had been spotted by Chris Von der Ahe, the owner of the American Association St. Louis Browns. He wanted Foutz's contract so badly he bought the entire Bay City, Michigan franchise.〔 Before joining the major league, Foutz acquired a reputation as a gambler and drinker, figuring if he was going to die young, he would enjoy himself before.〔(Baseball in 1889: Players Vs. Owners ) by Daniel Merle Pearson, page 211〕
