Default H801-8 Earl Yingling

Earl H. Yingling. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1918. 25 wins and a 3.22 ERA in 5 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Cleveland Naps in 1911. In 1913 with the Brooklyn Dodgers/Superbas, he posted an 8-8 record with a 2.58 ERA in 146.2 innings pitched.

Over four seasons (1911-1914) Yingling appeared in 89 MLB games playing for three different teams. The Cincinnati Reds got off to a fast start in 1914 and Yingling was in the thick of it, but both Yingling and the team had a poor finish to the season and when the team tried to send him to Salt Lake for the 1915 season, he refused to go.

One thing led to another and Washington acquired his rights before the 1917 season. Yingling promptly announced his retirement. After the 1917 season, he changed his mind, was reinstated, and went to spring training with the Washington team.

He made 5 appearances for Washington in 1918 before he was drafted. He never made it back to MLB. But, his time in Washington was sufficient to result in this card showing Yingling wearing a Washington uniform and featuring an advertisement for Boston Store.
