Description
Before Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth there was Robert Lee "Parisian Bob" Caruthers (1864-1911).
A wunderkind pitcher and right fielder known throughout the country, he was the star on the mound for five league championships in 10 years, and one of two players in history--along with Ruth--to lead the Major Leagues in ERA+ (adjusted earned run average) and OPS+ (on-base plus slugging plus). Coming from a wealthy family, Caruthers had something other players didn't--leverage.
This resulted in several holdouts, including one which took him to Europe.
This first full-length biography rediscovers one of baseball's most interesting characters and first two-way stars.
