Andrew Earl Hamilton Marsden : Career Overview June 4th, 2012 | Author: hamilton-com | Edit  Career Overview Born in Gibson City, Illinois, Hamilton played his first major league game on April 14, 1911. Through the early to mid-teens, Hamilton was considered a quality pitcher and was one of the better pitchers on some terrible Browns teams. In 1914, Hamilton had a very quality season, going 17-18 with a 2.50 ERA in 302 and 1/3 innings pitched. After being purchased by Detroit in 1916, he was waived back to the Browns less than a month later. Then, in 1918, he finally left St. Louis for good after an 0-9 season, being purchased by Pittsburgh before the season began. That season, in 6 starts, he had one of the most amazing seasons ever recorded. Hamilton was 6-0 with a 0.83 ERA in 54 innings that year. He finished with 1 shutout in his 6 complete games. Hamilton had only given up 7 runs (5 earned) in 6 games. Oddly, he picked that season to enlist in the Navy. Hamilton returned for more fair seasons with the Pirates. Along with Wilbur Cooper, Whitey Glazner, and Babe Adams, he helped make up a good rotation for Pittsburgh, culminating with a second place finish in 1921 (behind only the New York Giants, 4 games). However, they never made the World Series with Hamilton.   Before he retired in 1924, Hamilton was selected off waivers by the Phillies, and he went 0-1 with them, with a 10.50 ERA. Hamilton made sparse appearances on leaderboards throughout his career, such as a 9th place finish in the ERA leaderboard (3.36, 1921) and a 7th place finish in wins in 1914, when he had 17. He also made the top 10 in losses three times (1914, 15, 21), and ended up finishing only two years of his career with a winning record; his 6-0 season of 1918 and 1922 (11-7).   In 14 years, he was 116-147 with a solid 3.16 ERA in 410 games (261 starts). He pitched 140 complete games, 16 of them shutouts. Hamilton recorded 790 career strike outs and allowed 1075 runs (822 earned) in 2342 an

The Idol of Dt. Louis public, Earl is Showing Himself a Master Twirler, With Attributes That make Him Well Nigh Invincible. The St. Louis Browns are showing St. Louis fandom, baseball such as they have not seen in a generation.The papers there are wild about the unusual amount of pep diaplayed by Rickey's men and scarcely a game in which they take part fails to bring as some critical situation arises snd calls forth the sterling qualities of Rickey's Bunch of ballplayers. Take, f'example, their game with the Washington Senators last tuesday, when Lefty Earl Hamilton, the champion high jumper and lover of red shirt-sleeves, was pitted against the Griffithites. He was opposed by Joel Engel, whose dad runs a bar drinking public free suds whenever Engel Jr. gets away with a victory This was one day the barkeep wasn't overworked. Ham allowed six hits,which Washington by judicious enterprise, managed to turn into three runs. But it wasn't the hits that made their runs, Pratt erred, so did Sam Agnew and Ernie Walker in right missed fly in the glaring sun.Dutch Schaefer then hoisted one far out to Clarence Walker and the third tally came home. This all happenedn the third innng and after that Wachington couldn't find Him. Here's what the Gloge-Democrat scorer has to say: Earl Hamilton pitched an exquisite game againts Washington yesterday. His Pitching was the feature of the game. The scorer credited the Senators with six hits. At least three of these would have been taken care of. E. Walker misjudged one-Foster's fly-in the sun, and a couplr more dropped in the outfield when good fielding would have handled them for outs. The young pitcher had everything. He used speed, curve. cross-fire, knuckle drop and a beautiful slow ball that was worth the price of admission to see.He had perfect control, and the way in which he kept floating that slow ball up ti the batters was a real treat to the lover of a real baseball. They kepthitting it into the air. That was
