[edit] Biography

Born on March 16, 1888 in Payson, Illinois, Ralph Works (Ralph Talmadge Works) played for the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds over the course of his 5 year career. Works broke into the bigs on May 1, 1909 with the Detroit Tigers, and put up a 1.97 ERA in 64 innings pitched in 1909, his rookie year.
