George Mullin (baseball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Joseph Mullin (July 4, 1880 – January 7, 1944) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played fourteen seasons, from 1902 to 1915. He played with the Detroit Tigers and Washington Senators of the American League and the Indianapolis Hoosiers and Newark Peppers of the Federal League.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Mullin played his first twelve seasons with the Tigers. He accompanied the team to three consecutive World Series beginning in 1907, and was the second game starting pitcher in both the 1907 and 1908 World Series against the Chicago Cubs. In 1909, he led the American League with 29 wins, and went on to win two more games in the 1909 World Series despite losing the series to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the postseason, he had a record of 3-3 with a 1.86 ERA.

During the 1913 season, after a 1-6 start, he was moved to the Washington Senators. Mullin would spend two final seasons pitching in the Federal League. A five-time twenty game winner, George Mullin won 228 games in his career. He threw two no-hitters, the first one on 1909 Opening Day and the second on his birthday in 1912. He is the Tigers' all-time innings pitched leader, in a career and in a season, with 3,394 and 382⅓.
