During the 17 years he was part of the New York Giants staff--1900-1916--he pitched in 653 games, winning 372 and losing 189 for an overall record of .663. In the 1905 World Series he beat Philadelphia via shutout three times. Later participated in the 1911, 1912, and 1913 World Series.<br /><br />Again, can't quite figure out the last one. The reference to shutouts literally translates as something like "by way of the nine zeroes" which is actually a great way of saying that! What a card.Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.com
