Default Marty O'Toole Pittsburg(h) Pirates

Anybody familar with him? Have a card of his?

Born in Mass. (my error he was born in PA, grew up in Mass.) Played for Cincinnati in 1908, then for the Pirates from 1910-1914 and finished with the NY Giants also in 1914.

He was baseball's highest paid pitcher in 1911 (the original check is at the HOF).....yet turned out being a bust.

Was he baseball's first bust?
