Urban Faber

Urban Clarence "Red" Faber (September 6, 1888 – September 25, 1976) was a right-handed pitcher who spent his entire 20-year Major League Baseball career with the Chicago White Sox, from 1914 through 1933. Born near Cascade, Iowa, of Luxembourgish ancestry, Faber won 254 games over his career, a total that ranked 17th-highest in history at the time of his retirement. A member of the 1919 White Sox, he missed the World Series due to injury and illness and had no involvement in the Black Sox scandal. At retirement he was the last legal spitball pitcher in the American League. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1964.
