Jim Creighton
:''For the basketball player, see Jim Creighton (basketball)''.
James Creighton, Jr. (April 15, 1841 – October 18, 1862) was an American baseball player during the game's amateur era, and is considered by historians to be its first superstar. He played for the Excelsior of Brooklyn from 1860 to 1862, as well as local amateur and professional cricket matches.
As a pitcher in baseball's amateur era, Creighton's pitching style changed the sport from a game that showcased fielding into a confrontation between the pitcher and batter. During his era, a pitcher was required to deliver the ball in an underhand motion with a stiff arm/stiff wrist movement. The speed with which Creighton was able to pitch the ball had previously been thought of as impossible without movement of his elbow or wrist. If there were any movements in his elbow or wrist, they were imperceptible, but he was accused by some opponents and spectators of using an illegal delivery. However, due to the competitive advantage of this delivery, and his success as a pitcher, eventually led others to emulate his technique.
In October 1862, at the height of his popularity, he injured himself in a game when he suffered a ruptured abdominal hernia hitting a home run. The rupture caused internal bleeding, and he died four days later. Diagnoses differ as to the cause of death, ranging from a strain to a ruptured bladder, but modern medical understanding of the symptoms suggest that it was most likely a ruptured inguinal hernia.
==Early life==
Creighton was born on April 15, 1841 in Manhattan to James and Jane Creighton, and was raised in Brooklyn.〔Thorn, p. 122〕 By age 16, he had become recognized in the Brooklyn area for his batting skills in both baseball and cricket. In 1857, along with other neighborhood youths, he formed a local baseball club named Young America. During this period, there were no organized leagues and few competing teams, so amateur clubs spent much of their time practicing and playing intra-squad games, with occasional matches against rivals. Youth America played a few match games before disbanding. Creighton then became a member of Niagara of Brooklyn, playing second base.〔
