Ray Chapman was born on Thursday, January 15, 1891, in Beaver Dam, Kentucky. Chapman was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 30, 1912, with the Cleveland Naps. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Ray Chapman baseball stats page.
"With the Indians leading 3-0, (Ray) Chapman led off the top of the fifth inning. (Carl) Mays, who was known for pitching batters inside with his submarine-style delivery, sailed a pitch toward Chapman's head. Moments later, the batter was on the ground. As fans watched in horror, Chapman walked off the field, supported by two teammates, drawing applause of relief. Hours later, though, Chapman died, never recovering from the blow. Mays played for nine more seasons, but never escaped the stigma of a pitch that killed. Chapman's teammates were stunned at the loss of their star shortstop and friend, but were inspired by his memory." - Inside Pitch Newsletter (National Baseball Hall of Fame, 08-16-2004)
