Picture of the day
Ed Walsh
(1881–1959) was an American
baseball
pitcher
who played for the
Chicago White Sox
and
Boston Braves
from 1904 to 1917. His career
earned run average
of 1.82 is the lowest
major league
ERA ever posted, but the record is unofficial since ERA was not an official statistic in the
American League
prior to 1913. After his playing career ended, he also served as an
umpire
and coach.
