James Otto "Tex" Carleton (August 19, 1906 – January 11, 1977) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher from 1932 to 1940 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and Brooklyn Dodgers. Carleton threw a no-hitter on April 30, 1940, against the Reds when he was with the Dodgers.[1] [2] Only a year earlier he had been sold down to the minors and released.[3] His career marks were 100 wins, 76 losses and a 3.90 earned run average.
As a hitter, Carleton had the exact number of hits (100) as wins in his major league career. He posted a .185 batting average (100-for-540) with 47 runs, 6 home runs, 54 RBI and drawing 35 bases on balls.[4]
