Pud Galvin


 

James Francis "Pud" Galvin (December 25, 1856March 7, 1902), an American professional baseball pitcher, was Major League Baseball's first 300-game winner. Pud played in an era where 2-man pitching rotations were common - thus his 5,959 innings pitched and 641 complete games, both of which are second only to the career totals of Cy Young. Incredibly, Pud pitched over 70 complete games in both 1883 and 1884! He is the only player in baseball history to win 20 or more games in 10 different years without winning a pennant, finishing his career with a total of 364 wins and 310 losses.
