Ed Brandt

Does anyone have photos of pitcher Ed Brandt? I stumbled upon his name while researching another player. He's Virtually Unknown today, (perhaps because he died early at age 39 in 1944), but like my screen namesake Ken Raffensberger, Brandt was a very good pitcher who was stuck on some really bad teams. In an 11 year career (1928-1938) , mostly with the Boston Braves (1928-1935), Brandt threw 150 Complete Games, with 18 Shut Outs. He was a workhorse who racked up Innings Pitched and Decisions with season records such as 18-11, 16-16, 18-14, 16-14 and 9-21. He also was a Brooklyn Dodger and a Pittsburgh Pirate late in his career. (Lifetime Record: 121-146, 3.86 ERA).
