Seattle Bill James

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Seattle Bill" James in 1914.

William Lawrence James (March 12, 1892 - March 10, 1971) was a baseball player, who was given a nickname to differentiate him from his contemporary, "Big" Bill James.

Seattle Bill James pitched mostly in the National League, and in his only full season, went 26-7 on the 1914 Boston Braves championship team. This team is known as the "Miracle Braves" because they made a dramatic comeback from last place in midseason to win the pennant. James was 2-0 in the World Series as the Braves recorded the first sweep in Series history.
