Born on November 5, 1867 in Buffalo, New York, Ice Box Chamberlin (Elton P. Chamberlin) played for the Louisville Colonels, St. Louis Browns, Columbus Colts, Philadelphia Athletics, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Spiders over the course of his 10 year career. Chamberlin broke into the bigs on September 13, 1886 with the Louisville Colonels, and put up a 3.79 ERA in 309 innings pitched in 1887, his rookie year.
