Ehert's Heroic Actions in Rescue
A interesting story line from the game that I thought I would share. Way to go Red; you saved the day!
***The real Phillip "Red" Ehert pitched for 11 seasons from 1888 to 1898; accumulating 139 wins and 20.8 WAR. Found this interesting quote:
Quote:

"Red Ehret is considered by all the ball players to be one of the best pitchers that ever went on the rubber, but he has been greatly handicapped by slanderous reports. If all the reports flying around about Ehret are true he is the hardest drinker in the country, exceeding even old Pete Browning. . . Ehret is so discouraged by these reports . . ." - Sporting Life, October 3, 1893
