King Brady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Ward Brady (May 28, 1881 - August 21, 1947) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played between 1905 and 1912. Brady batted and threw right handed. He was born in Elmer, New Jersey.
A modest pitcher most of his career, Brady was 24-year-old when he reached the majors in 1905 with the Philadelphia Phillies, spending one year with them before moving to the Pittsburgh Pirates (1906-1907), Boston Red Sox (1908) and Boston Braves (1912). His most productive season came in 1906 with Pittsburgh, when he finished 1-1 and compiled career-highs in ERA (2.35), strikeouts (14) and innings pitched (23.0). On October 5, 1908, with the Red Sox, he made his only American League appearance a good one, pitching an eight-hit, 4–0 shutout over the New York Highlanders.
In a five-season career, Brady posted a 3-2 record with 20 strikeouts and a 3.08 ERA in 49-2/3 innings.
Brady died in Albany, New York, at the age of 66.
