[edit] Biography

Al Bridwell (Albert Henry Bridwell) was born on January 4, 1884 in Friendship, Ohio. He made his Major League debut on April 16, 1905 for the Cincinnati Reds. In 1905, his rookie year, he hit .252 with 0 home runs and 17 RBI. Bridwell played for the Cincinnati Reds, Boston Beaneaters, Boston Doves, New York Giants, Boston Rustlers, Boston Braves, Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Terriers over the course of his 11 year career.

Most people believe that Al Bridwell's best season was 1909, when he stole 32 bases, hit for a .294 average and knocked in 55 runs.

Bridwell hit the single which caused the crucial "Merkle boner" running error of the 1908 season against the Chicago Cubs. The error ended up costing the Giants the pennant. He batted left-handed, and threw righty.

He also played for the Boston Beaneaters for some years. He played his final two years in the Federal League. Bridwell is also profiled in Lawrence Ritter's book The Glory of their Times.

In 1252 career games, Bridwell batted .255 with 348 RBIs. He had 1064 hits, with 95 doubles and 32 triples in 4169 at bats.

Bridwell died at age 85. He had one daughter.
