Hall of Famer and one of the best pitchers ofhis era, Waddell led the AL in strike-outs six consecutive seasons and was thefirst pitcher in Major League history to strike out the side on 9consecutive pitches. In 1903 Waddell struck out 302 batters - 115 morethan the runner up. In 1904 he struck out 349 - 110 more than the runner up. Noother pitcher would post back-to-back 300 strikeout seasons until Sandy Koufaxin 1965 a...nd 1966. In 1905 Waddell won the AL pitching Triple Crown.Some slight corner and edge wear and a minorcrease along the bottom, but the card is in excellentshape for being over 100 years old. The picture is clear with good color and all of the writingis extremely sharp.
