Waddell, Rube | Baseball Hall of Fame
'He had more stuff than any pitcher I ever saw,' legendary manager Connie Mack once said about Rube Waddell. Mack knew that as well as anyone. As Waddell's manager with the Philadelphia A's starting in 1902, Mack helped the young lefthander harness his electric fastball, devastating curveball and baffling screwball. Waddell posted the first of four consecutive 20-win seasons that year, and led the American League in strikeouts for each of the next six seasons. On July 1, 1902, Waddell became the first pitcher in major league history to strike out the side on nine pitches.

Rube Waddell | Society for American Baseball Research
He entered this world on Friday the 13th and exited on April Fools Day. In the 37 intervening years, Rube Waddell struck out more batters, frustrated more managers and attracted more fans than any pitcher of his era. An imposing physical specimen for his day, the 6'1", 196-pound Waddell possessed the intellectual and emotional maturity of a child--although a very precocious and engaging one at that. "There was delicious humor in many of his vagaries, a vagabond impudence and ingenuousness that made them attractive to the public," wrote the Columbus Dispatch. Waddell's on- and off-field exploits became instant legends.
