Win Mercer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Barclay "Win" Mercer (June 20, 1874 – January 12, 1903) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1894 to 1902. Born in Chester, West Virginia, he played primarily with the National League Washington Senators (1894-1899), winning 20 games twice with the club. He also played with the New York Giants (1900), the American League Washington Senators (1901), and the Detroit Tigers (1902). Mercer led the National League in games started (41), shutouts (3), and saves (3) in 1897. He holds an interesting record, he has the most stolen bases 9 by a pitcher in one season.

In January 1903, while in San Francisco, California, before what would have been his tenth season, he committed suicide by inhaling illuminating gas at the age of 28. He was laid to rest at Riverview Cemetery in East Liverpool, Ohio. The act reportedly happened shortly after he was named manager of the tigers.
