Biography of Rube Waddell |
|
This Rube Waddell history is the result of nearly two decades of research gleaned from the archives of newspapers that mentioned the name of Rube Waddell over a century ago. It is the early story of Rube Waddell when he played baseball in western Pennsylvania and scores of other towns across the Unzited States. It is an accurate account of Rube Waddell from 1895 to early summer 1902, chronicling the events leading up to Rube Waddell’s brilliant — and well-documented — baseball pitching career with the Philadelphia Athletics. Of all the players who donned uniforms for the small towns in which Rube Waddell pitched, he remains for many of those communities their most famous and talented athlete. The reputation of Rube Waddell has not been surpassed. — William C. Anderson |
