Hugh Daily
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hugh Ignatius Daily (Born (as Harry Criss) [1] 1857 in Baltimore, Maryland) was a 19th Century Major League Baseball player who was nicknamed, and is known much of the time today as "One Arm" Daily due to the fact that he lost his left hand to a gun accident. To compensate for this injury, he fixed a special pad over the affected area and caught the baseball by trapping it between the pad and his right hand.
On September 13, 1883, while pitching for the Cleveland Blues of the National League, he pitched a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Quakers, a 1-0 victory.
He pitched a total of six seasons for seven different teams while playing in three different leagues (the National League, Union Association, and American Association). He played for the Buffalo Bisons, Cleveland Blues, St. Louis Maroons, and Washington Nationals of the National League; Chicago/Pittsburgh, and Washington Nationals of the Union Association; and the Cleveland Blues of the American Association.
