DescriptionRadbourn Stone and Plaque 811210.JPG |
English: I took this photo on December 10, 1981. The plaque at that time was badly corroded. It has since been restored, and I re-photographed it on November 25, 2005. The plaque reads:
Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourne 1854-1897 A Bloomington man who became one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time. Selected by over two hundred baseball authorities to be one of the immortals of baseball and to have his name and record placed in the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, in the year of our Lord 1940. He was a pitcher in the National League for ten years and in the Players' League one year. In eleven years of major league pitching he won 310 games and lost 191 games for a winning percentage of .619. The year 1884 saw him win 60 games and lose 12 games. 60 games won remains the record for games won in the major leagues as of 1940. From August 6th, 1884, to September 3rd, 1884, he pitched and won 18 consecutive games for Providence, Rhode Island, in the National League. During this year 1884 he struck out 411 men. On July 25th, 1883, he hurled a no hit game against Cleveland. His record for the three best years of his pitching career, 1882, 1883 and 1884 reads 147 wins and 56 losses. No pitcher has equaled this record of wins in his best three years. Erected as a tribute to an illustrious son of Bloomington, Illinois, by a group of baseball fansin the year of our Lord 1941. |
