Jim Bagby

James Charles Jacob Bagby Sr. (October 5, 1889 – July 28, 1954) was a right-handed starting pitcher from Barnett, Georgia. He broke into Major League Baseball with the Cincinnati Reds in 1912 before joining the Cleveland Indians in 1916. Bagby posted 23 wins in 1917 and 17 in each of the following two seasons. His 1920 campaign stands as one of the most dominant single-season pitching performances in the modern era: he finished 31–12, clinching the American League pennant for Cleveland on September 2 with a 10–1 win over Detroit. That October, he became the first pitcher to hit a home run in a modern World Series.
