Hopefully a significant advance of 0% is not detached from reality, thank you.
Attached is a 1924 image of Alex Ferguson with the 1924 Boston Red Sox.
The namesake of probably the most successful British born manager in EPL history was a right handed pitcher who started 166 games. His career figures were a 4.93 ERA and a won loss record of 71-85.
1924 could well be described as Ferguson's career year as he reached double figures wins, 14, for the only time but led the American League in losses with 17, matching teammate Howard Ehmke and Joe Shaute of the Cleveland Indians. He also set career highs in strikeouts (75), innings (237), appearances (41) and starts (32). 1924 was Ferguson's last of 3 full seasons with the Red Sox. In 1925 he made just 5 appearances with Boston while later appearing with the New York Yankees and Washington Senators.
Alex Ferguson made his Major League debut with the 1918 New York Yankees making a solitary August appearance pitching 2 plus innings in a finishing role with a unblotched ERA. It was not until 1921 that he reappeared with the Yankees posting a 3-1 record. On joining the Red Sox in 1922 he joined the starting rotation emerging with a 9-16 record from 27 starts. He repeated with 9 wins in 1923 but reduced his losses to 13 and lowered his ERA to 4.04. After finishing the 1925 season with the Senators he remained with them in 1926 ending with a 3-4 record. Joining the Philadelphia Phillies in 1927 he re-established himself in the starting rotation, starting all 31 of his appearances. He reduced his starts to 19 with the 1928 Phillies. 1929 his final season he ended with the Brooklyn Dodgers after appearing in 5 games with the Phillies.
