[edit] Career
[edit] Chicago
Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, he began his major league career with the Colts, winning 12 of the 20 games he pitched[1] as the team went on to a second place finish behind the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.[2] The following season, Ed pitched in less games, winning 7 of the 14 games he pitched that year[1], as the Colts again finished second, but this time behind the Boston Beaneaters.[3]
[edit] Brooklyn
It was his time in Brooklyn where Ed enjoyed his greatest success. He made an immediate impact, winning 27 games that season, and 87 games total during his first four seasons in Brooklyn, including another 26 win season in 1894.[1]
On July 2, 1894, Ed pitched a rain-shortened six inning no-hit game against the Beaneaters, a 1-0 victory at the Bridegrooms home field, Eastern Park.[4] Do to subsequent rule changes since, it is not officially recognized as a no-hitter because he did not pitch at least nine innings.
[edit] Post-career
Ed died in his hometown of Detroit at the age of 58, and is interred at Elmwood Cemetery.[1]
