Early Promise and Dominant Years:

Born in 1880, Joss debuted with the Cleveland Bronchos (later known as the Naps) in 1902. His exceptional control and deceptive fastball quickly made him a force on the mound. He established himself as a dominant pitcher, leading the American League in Earned Run Average (ERA) twice and recording an astonishing career ERA of 1.89, the second-lowest in MLB history (as of October 26, 2023).

The Perfect Game and a Legacy of Excellence:

In 1908, Joss etched his name in baseball history by throwing a perfect game, a feat achieved only four times in baseball history at the time. He also threw a no-hitter in 1910, a testament to his unparalleled skill. Joss' ability to consistently throw strikes and limit walks baffled hitters, making him a nightmare for opposing teams. Throughout his career, he amassed 160 wins, 45 shutouts, and over 900 strikeouts, solidifying his reputation as an elite pitcher.



A Tragic End and Enduring Legacy:

Despite his short stint in the majors, his impact on the game was profound. Addie Joss is remembered for his exceptional pitching talent, his signature control, and the perfect game that cemented his place in baseball history.In 1978, recognition for his incredible career came in the form of his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
