Harry Gumbert
[edit] Biography
Born on November 5, 1909 in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, Harry Gumbert (Harry Edwards Gumbert) played for the New York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates over the course of his 15 year career. Gumbert broke into the bigs on September 12, 1935 with the New York Giants, and put up a 3.90 ERA in 140.2 innings pitched in 1936, his rookie year.
There is some disagreement on what was Harry Gumbert's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1948, when he posted a 3.47 ERA, won 10 games and notched 17 saves. However, others believe that it was 1941, when he posted a 3.06 ERA, won 12 games and struck out 62 batters.
