[edit] Biography

Born on June 2, 1899 in Fremont, Nebraska, Sloppy Thurston (Hollis John Thurston) played for the St. Louis Browns, Chicago White Sox, Washington Senators, Brooklyn Robins and Brooklyn Dodgers over the course of his 9 year career. Thurston broke into the bigs on April 19, 1923 with the St. Louis Browns, and put up a 3.13 ERA in 195.2 innings pitched in 1923, his rookie year.

There is some disagreement on what was Sloppy Thurston's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1924, when he posted a 3.80 ERA and won 20 games. However, others believe that it was 1923, when he posted a 3.13 ERA and struck out 55 batters.
