Joe McGinnity Stats

Joe McGinnity was born on Monday, March 20, 1871, in Cornwall, Illinois. McGinnity was 28 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 18, 1899, with the Baltimore Orioles. 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 Joe McGinnity baseball stats page.
"One thing (Joe) McGinnity could have in today's game was his specialty pitch. He perfected an underhand pitch that has a similar movement to the riseball in fastpitch softball. According to newspaper accounts, his fingers would almost touch the ground, and with the twist of his wrist, he'd manage to get something resembling an up-curve that most batters swung under. That pitch kept him in the game until his mid-50s. He nicknamed the pitch 'Old Sal.' He reportedly threw it nearly every pitch. Catchers caught him without using signs. He wasn't fast; didn't need to be. Old Sal became part of the legend of Iron Man Joseph." - Columnist Marc Nesseler (AP Wire, 05/08/2006)
