Jack Stivetts
[edit] Biography
Born on March 31, 1868 in Ashland, Pennsylvania, Jack Stivetts (John Elmer Stivetts) played for the St. Louis Browns, Boston Beaneaters and Cleveland Spiders over the course of his 11 year career. Stivetts broke into the bigs on June 26, 1889 with the St. Louis Browns, and put up a 2.25 ERA in 191.2 innings pitched in 1889, his rookie year.
There is some disagreement on what was Jack Stivetts's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1891, when he posted a 2.86 ERA, won 33 games and struck out 259 batters. However, others believe that it was 1890, when he posted a 3.52 ERA, won 27 games and struck out 289 batters.
