Bob Groom -- Shoots and Ladders
Bob Groom's otherwise mundane career (288 starts over ten years, 119-150 record), had spectacular high and low points.
Right off the bat, Groom nose-dived to record low territory: in 1909, as an MLB rookie (after five seasons in the PCL), he laid a huge egg -- 19 consecutive losses, a record which has only been equaled once. But, he continued to pitch, eventually won a few and then, in 1917 while pitching for the St. Louis Browns, Groom soared to exceptional height: he no-hit the eventual World Champion Chicago White Sox 3–0. And, the no-hitter came in the second game of a double-header. Earlier, Groom had preserved the win in the first game by pitching the last two innings without allowing a hit. Groom's no-hitter also came the day after teammate Ernie Koob's 1–0 no-hitter against the White Sox. Koob and Groom are still the only teammates to pitch no-hitters on consecutive days. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406594 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406606 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406617 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406627 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406635 https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1595406646 |
