[F.E. "Fin" Wilson, Cleveland AL (baseball)] (LOC)

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    Fin Wilson was born on Sunday, December 9, 1888, in East Fork, Kentucky. Wilson was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 26, 1914, with the Brooklyn Tip-Tops. www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=wilsofi01 the problem I have with this photo is baseball almanac doesn't show any player with even just the last name Wilson having ever played a single game for any Cleveland team 1908-1919 (Blues, Naps, or Indians) and they show Fin Wilson playing for Brooklyn in 1914/15 and not any MLB before that. Baseball-reference.com also has him only playing 1914/15 Debut September 26, 1914 Final Game September 27, 1915 and read more about the Tiptops here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Tip-Tops this one is a true mystery, why the heck would Fin Wilson be in a Cleveland uniform?

    "George Joseph Young (April 1, 1890-March 13, 1950) was a professional Major League Baseball player who played for the Cleveland Naps in 1913. His entire professional career lasted only 2 games." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Young_(baseball)
  • Century Club said:
    He also played in 1913 and 1914 with the Charleston Senators of the Ohio State Leage, a Class D league in the minors. Some of his Cleveland teammates were well known hitters, including Joe Jackson and Nap Lajoie. Both of which hit over .400 in 1 season.

    Interesting to see this size of the catcher's glove.

    wow. Shoeless Joe before being traded to the future Black Sox.
  • Scarce Fruit said:
    Is shoeless Joe Jackson still denied recognition in the baseball hall of fame? Can't an argument be made that even though he didn't willingly come forth to expose his team mates for their throwing that infamous game, yet Joe was nevertheless on the field that day playing his heart out -- probably in more ways than one --, and so lovers of the game may graciously give Joe a break?
  • Valerie Reneé said:
    Yeah, he's still banned, even though a grand jury acquitted all the players accused in the scandal. It's sad, especially considering that to this day he still holds multiple records in major league ball.

    Can the Baseball Hall of Fame make those on MLB's ineligible list eligible for election since the Hall is separate from the league?
