Bill Hutchison
[edit] Biography
Born on December 17, 1859 in New Haven, Connecticut, Bill Hutchison (William Forrest Hutchison) played for the Kansas City Unions, Chicago White Stockings, Chicago Colts and St. Louis Perfectos over the course of his 9 year career. Hutchison broke into the bigs on June 10, 1884 with the Kansas City Unions, and put up a 3.54 ERA in 318 innings pitched in 1889, his rookie year.
