Ray Caldwell
Raymond Benjamin Caldwell, (April 26, 1888 – August 17, 1967), was an American major league pitcher from 1910 to 1921. He was known for throwing the spitball, and he was one of the 17 pitchers allowed to continue throwing the pitch after it was outlawed in 1920.〔("Ray Caldwell Chronology" ), Retrieved on 2013-5-24.〕
Caldwell was notorious during his playing career for his addiction to alcohol and partying, he possessed a self-destructive streak that many of his contemporaries believed stopped him from reaching his potential. In 1924, Miller Huggins wrote: 'Caldwell was one of the best pitchers that ever lived, but he was one of those characters that keep a manager in a constant worry. If he had possessed a sense of responsibility and balance, Ray Caldwell would have gone down in history as one of the greatest of all pitchers.'〔Miller Huggins. ''San Francisco Chronicle'', March 14, 1924.〕 Yet, despite his achievements on the field and his antics off it, Caldwell is perhaps best remembered for being struck by lightning whilst playing for the Cleveland Indians against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1919; remarkably, despite being knocked unconscious, he refused to leave the game, having pitched 8.2 innings, and went on to record the final out for the win.〔("Ray Caldwell" ), Retrieved on 2013-5-24.〕
==Early life==
Caldwell was born in the (now mostly abandoned) town of Corydon, Pennsylvania, located just south of the New York state line near Cattaraugus County. He was the son of Anna (née Archer) and Walter Caldwell.〔http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gss=angs-g&new=1&rank=1&gsfn=raymond+benjamin&gsfn_x=0&gsln=caldwell&gsln_x=1&mswpn__ftp=Pennsylvania%2c+USA&mswpn=41&mswpn_PInfo=5-%7c0%7c1652393%7c0%7c2%7c3244%7c41%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c&MSAV=1&msbdy=1888&msbpn__ftp=Corydon%2c+McKean%2c+Pennsylvania%2c+USA&msbpn=14715&msbpn_PInfo=8-%7c0%7c1652393%7c0%7c2%7c3244%7c41%7c0%7c1942%7c14715%7c0%7c&msddy=1967&cp=0&catbucket=rstp&uidh=9h2&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=12262451&recoff=4+5+6+39&db=Numident&indiv=1&ml_rpos=6〕 The family later moved to Salamanca in the same county where Ray grew up and completed high school.〔
