George Edward “Rube” Waddell
Born: Friday the 13th 1876 Died: April Fools Day 1914 “He made my team. He was the greatest pitcher in the game and although widely known for his eccentricities, was more sinned against than sinning. He was the best-hearted man on our team and every man with whom he came in contact will verify my statement. When a comrade was sick The Rube was first on hand to see him and the last to leave and if he had money it went for some gift or offering to the sick man.” Connie Mack– Legendary Baseball Manager (image original source BaseBall-Fever.com) |
