Jack Coombs was born on Saturday, November 18, 1882, in Le Grand, Iowa. Coombs was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 5, 1906, with the Philadelphia Athletics. 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 Jack Coombs baseball stats page.
"He (Jack Coombs) has mastered the greatest of all pitching assets, the drop ball that does not break from the right-handed batters. I don't mean one of those outdrops, but a ball that comes up to the plate squarely in the center and falls from one to two feet without changing its lateral direction." - Malachi Kittredge in The National Game (Alfred H. Spink, 2000)
