Walter Henry Ruether (born in Alameda, California; September 29, 1893 – May 16, 1970) was an American baseball player who pitched for five different Major League teams. In his 11-year career, Ruether played for the Chicago Cubs, the Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyn Robins, the Washington Senators, and the New York Yankees. He appeared in the 1919 World Series as a member of the Reds, in the 1925 World Series as a member of the Senators, and in the 1926 World Series as a member of the Yankees. Ruether was also a member of the 1927 Yankees. Though that team played in the 1927 World Series, Ruether did not participate in any of the games. == Early life == Ruether attended St. Ignatius College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20061230203644/http://www.vintagecardboard.com/ruether.asp )〕 On March 10, 1913, St. Ignatius participated in an exhibition game against the Chicago White Sox. Ruether, a left-hander, pitched in the game for St. Ignatius. In the ninth-inning, White Sox shortstop Buck Weaver hit a 3-run home run off Ruether. This secured the victory for the White Sox, and Ruether lost the contest 4–2.〔 Ruether parlayed his strong outing into a try-out with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. After reporting to Hot Springs, Arkansas for the Pirates' training camp, he signed a contract. The contract stated that Ruether could opt out if the Pirates attempted to assign him to a Minor league farm team.〔 The Pirates did just that, and consequently, Ruether left the organization. After he left the Pirates, Ruether went to play in the Northwest League. He spent the 1914 season and the 1915 season with the Vancouver Beavers.〔(Vancouver Baseball ) (retrieved 15 May 2015) mentions only 1915.〕 In 1916, Ruether moved to the Spokane Indians. That team went on to win the pennant.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dutch Ruether」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
