Ed Trumbull (born Edward J. Trembly, November 3, 1860 – January 14, 1937) was an American professional baseball outfielder and pitcher who played for the Washington Nationals of the American Association in .
According to the Washington Post, Trumbull was of French-Canadian descent and worked as a molder. David Nemec states that he was "better at billiards than baseball" and speculates that he was left-handed based on how newspaper accounts describe the movement of his breaking pitches.[1]
Trumbull made his major league debut on May 10, 1884, against the New York Metropolitans. He was caught by Alex Gardner, who set a major league record by allowing 12 passed balls and also made six errors; the pitcher may have been partially at fault, as his delivery was described as wild and swift.[2] Trumbull took the loss in the game, an 11–3 defeat for Washington which was stopped after seven innings; many fans left midway through the game.[3] He started nine more games for Washington and won only one, a 10–4 victory against the Toledo Blue Stockings on June 7. The team folded in August, and Trumbull moved on to play for Holyoke of the minor league Massachusetts State Association.[1]
In, Trumbull pitched in one minor league game for Springfield of the Southern New England League.[1] In 1896, he played for a semi-professional team in Springfield, Massachusetts formed by Robert M. Keating.[4]
