Phil-If you compare Foutz to his teammate Parisian Bob Caruthers you'll see that they are very similar pitchers and hitters. Caruthers was a career 218-99 with a 2.83 ERA. Foutz was 147-66 with a 2.84 ERA. They batted almost exactly the same with Foutz knocking in more runs and Caruthers hitting more homers. However, my pick for best two way 19th century player is John Ward. Ward was 164-102 as a pitcher, including throwing the second perfect game in major league baseball history. After his arm went he became argueably the best shortstop of the 19th century and, unlike Foutz, is a HOFer.
