Bio
In 1908, the New York Giants paid a then unheard of price of $11,000 for minor league southpaw Richard "Rube" Marquard. He eventually proved his worth by leading the team to three straight pennants (1911-‘13), during which he won 24, 26 and 23 games, respectively. In 1912, he earned victories in his first 19 decisions. Marquard no-hit the Brooklyn Robins in 1915, then was later sold to the Robins, helping them win the pennant the following year.
