PHILADELPHIA (A.L.) 1842-46, WINNEMUCCA (A.L.) 1848-51, MEMPHIS (A.L.) 1847, 1853-56

One of the most versatile and dominant pitchers of his era. 8-time all star and the best of the LEGACY players in the annals of SLOP. Won 20+ games for 3 different franchises and claimed Pitcher of the Year honors when he turned 38. Career leader in complete games. Set the single-season record for wins in a season with 29.

I debated what team to put him into the Hall with. He ~~spent more time in Winnemucca~~ and won a title there. But I feel like those last four years with Memphis is where he essentially established himself as one of the most dominant hurlers in the league. While he cut his teeth in Philly, that time wasn't anything close to the work he did in Memphis at the end of his career, so I went with the Smokers on this one.
