October 16, 1897 A Buckeye is Born Born on October 16, 1897, Garland “Gob” Buckeye plays both major league baseball and professional football during a lengthy a 13-year professional sports career. Pitching for a semi-pro team in Gary, Indiana, where he is 4-0 with 55 strikeouts in 36 innings, Buckeye signs with the Wash- ington Senators on June 13, 1918. Six days later the large left-hander (one report has him at 6-0, 205-pounds while another lists him as 6-6, 235-pounds) makes his major league debut in the Polo Grounds against the New York Yankees. Relieving starter Jim Shaw in the seventh inning, Buckeye walks four and allows two hits and three runs in his first inning of work. In two innings of work he yields three hits, six walks and four runs while striking out two - one in each inning. His Washington Senator career comes to an end when he is pinch hit for by fellow pitcher and future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson in the ninth inning. Several newspaper reports describe Buckeye as the “mountainous south- paw” and “about as broad as he is tall.” Buckeye will later play five years of professional football (1920-1924) with the Chicago Tigers and Chicago Cardinals. Buckeye returns to the major leagues in 1925 with the American League’s Cleveland Indians finishing 13-8 with a 3.65 ERA in 30 games. The Heron Lake, Minnesota, native will pitch two more seasons in the majors with the Indians and the New York Giants. In five major league seasons, Buckeye is 30-39 with 29 complete games and a 3.91 ERA ... he allows 15 home runs in 564 career innings, including three to Babe Ruth.

23 Guys with Hobbies
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 7 (1987) 23 GUYS WITH HOBBIES By L. Robert Davids The decision by Bo Jackson, who played hit-or-miss baseball for the Kansas City Royals this summer, to play with the Los Angeles Raiders this fall, has been greeted with some skepticism. Well, it has been many years since an athlete has attempted this dual role in the same year. The last time was in 1954 when Vic Janowicz, the only other Heisman Trophy winner to play major league baseball, was a substitute third baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He batted only .151 in 41 games. He performed better as a halfback for the Washington Redskins, but certainly did not star that year. Of the approximately 60 athletes who played both major league baseball and football since 1920, a surprising 23 did it in the same year. Almost all of these multiple efforts were made in the early decades when the baseball and football seasons did not overlap as much as they do now. Also, several of the players made only token appearances in one of the sports, usually baseball. Tom Whelan and Red Smith played in only one game each, Jahn Scalzi in two, and John Mohardt in five. However, the latter had only one official at bat and collected a hit for a "lifetime" 1000 average! Only one or two players performed reasonably well in both sports the same year. In 1926, Garland "Gob" Buckeye, the 260-pound southpaw hurler for the Cleveland Indians, had a fine 3.10 ERA in 166 innings in that heavy-hitting season.
