Billy Evans 2s Make Good Starts For Veterans Early Season
Veteran pitchers have started strong this season, surprising fans. Babe Adams of the Pirates and Bill Marquard of the Braves earned solid early wins, with Adams allowing seven hits and one run to the Cardinals, Marquard holding the Dodgers to six singles across eight innings. Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson also began with standout form, while Vean Gregg offered helpful relief work. The piece notes it’s unusual for old-timers to shape up so early. Adams and Marquard are noted as the league’s oldest active pitchers, with Adams rising in 1909 and Marquard in 1908, later thriving in 1911 and 1912. Walter Johnson remains a contemporaneous major figure. Cobb also started strong for the Nationals, continuing his long-starring career.
