Career

[edit]

Born in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township, New Jersey, Bakley made his major league debut in 1883 at the age of 19 for the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association.[1] He went 5–3 for the eventual pennant winners.

Bakley spent the next several years in the minors before returning to the majors in 1888 and was arguably one of the better pitchers in the country in 1888 and 1889. His 532.2 innings pitched in 1888 ranked second in the AA, and he went 25–33 with a 2.97 earned run average. The next season, his 2.96 ERA was the second-best in the National League.

On September 3, 1890, Bakley gave up Harry Stovey's 100th homer, which was the first time that milestone had ever been reached.[2]

Bakley finished his major league career with a 76–125 record, a 3.66 ERA, and 669 strikeouts in 1,782.2 innings pitched.

Bakley served as a first base umpire twice, both times while playing for Cleveland teams; first in August 1888 during a game in Kansas City, and again in July 1890 during a game in Boston where umpire Harry Leach had been knocked unconscious in the prior day's game.[3]
