"I know how good Joe Jackson and Happy Felsch were in the outfield, but they weren't any better than Eddie Roush. Why Eddie used to take care of the whole outfield, not just center field.

Edd Roush used a 46-ounce Louisville Slugger and claimed he never broke a bat in his big league career! Baseball Almanac likes to take a look "beyond the stats" and we hope you enjoy the following biographical information which appeared in Edd Roush: A Biography of the Cincinnati Reds Star (Mitchell Conrad Stinson, McFarland Publishing, 04/25/2010, Page 20):

Cow Teats and Horsehide

I was borned and raised out here and I've been here ever since. Why in the hell would I go someplace else?

On May 8, 1893, Laura Roush gave birth to twin boys in Oakland City, probably at the family farmhouse just outside of town. The blessed event received passing mention from the "News in Brief" section of a fledgling newspaper called the Oakland City Journal. "Will Roush is practicing a Da-Da song to two new boys." Mama's role went unreported.

The first-time parents chose names that were simple and lyrical - Edd, Fred. Not Edward and Frederick. Edd and Fred. That's why they spelled Edd with two Ds; the second was equivalent to a stop sign. His full name was Edd J. Roush and it would always be a mystery what the middle initial stood for. That's because it stood for the tenth letter of the alphabet, nothing more. He had one grandfather named Joseph and another named Jerry. By selecting "J" from the middle moniker, the Roushes saluted both sides of the family and favoried neither. Fred got the "J' too.
