[edit] Biography

Born on June 27, 1890 in Clinton, North Carolina, Rube Benton (John Cleave Benton) played for the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants over the course of his 15 year career. Benton broke into the bigs on June 28, 1910 with the Cincinnati Reds, and put up a 3.10 ERA in 302 innings pitched in 1912, his rookie year.

There is some disagreement on what was Rube Benton's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1912, when he posted a 3.10 ERA, won 18 games and struck out 162 batters. However, others believe that it was 1916, when he posted a 2.87 ERA, won 16 games and struck out 115 batters.
