Ed, who did not become a big-leaguer until he was 31 years old, joined the Metropolitans pitching staff midway through 1885's descent into mediocrity and worse. Ed actually pitched rather well for the Mets, and was named Pitcher of the Year for both 1885 and 1886. If you want to see a pitching line unusually dominating for the 1800s, take a look below at the four games he pitched for Milwaukee in 1884. The card shown here is courtesy of M. P. Farris' online Old Judge Museum.
