Ed Cushman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edgar Leander Cushman (March 27, 1852 - September 26, 1915) was a 19th century Major League Baseball pitcher from Eagleville, Ohio. He played for five teams in three leagues spanning his six year career.[1]

On September 28, 1884, he pitched a no-hitter for the Milwaukee Brewers vs. the Washington Nationals, a 5-0 victory. It was the second and last no-hitter thrown in the Union Association, and was the second game the Brewers had played since joining the league as a late season replacement.

After his playing days, he worked as a conducter on the New York Central Railroad, and was also a restaurant owner at one time.[2] Ed died in Erie, Pennsylvania at the age of 63, and was buried in Erie Cemetery.[3]
