He led the National League in losses (30) in 1899; he was the last player in Major League Baseball to have 30 losses in a season.[1] In 7 seasons he had a 29–80 win–loss record, 145 games (113 started), 100 complete games, 28 games finished, 1 save, 1,007.2 innings pitched, 1,271 hits allowed, 748 runs allowed, 545 earned runs allowed, 21 home runs allowed, 317 walks allowed, 250 strikeouts, 46 hit batsmen, 37 wild pitches and a 4.87 ERA. His .266 win-loss percentage is the worst all-time among all pitchers with at least 100 pitching decisions. [2]
He died in Coldwater, Michigan, at the age of 76.
