Rube Waddell
George Edward (Rube) Waddell (October 13, 1876 – April 1, 1914) was an American southpaw pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). In his thirteen-year career he played for the Louisville Colonels (1897, 1899), Pittsburgh Pirates (1900–01) and Chicago Orphans (1901) in the National League, and the Philadelphia Athletics (1902–07) and St. Louis Browns (1908–10) in the American League. Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Waddell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946.
Waddell was a remarkably dominant strikeout pitcher in an era when batters mostly slapped at the ball to get singles. He had an excellent fastball, a sharp-breaking curve, a screwball, and superb control (his strikeout-to-walk ratio was almost 3-to-1). He led the major leagues in strikeouts for six consecutive years.
==Early life==
Born in 1876 outside of Bradford, Pennsylvania, Waddell grew up in the country. Biographer Alan Levy writes that Waddell was "a decidedly different sort of child."〔 At the age of three, he wandered over to a local fire station and stayed for several days. Waddell did not attend school very often, but he was considered to be literate. He strengthened his arm as a child by throwing rocks he encountered while plowing the family's land. He also worked on mining and drilling sites as a youngster, which helped his conditioning.〔Levy, pp. 9-10.〕
