Edward Arthur Walsh (February 11 1905 – October 31 1937) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher from Meriden, Connecticut, and son of Hall of Famer Ed Walsh. He played four seasons in the Majors, all with Chicago White Sox, from by|1928 through by|1932.cite web| title = Ed Walsh Jr's Stats | work = retrosheet.org | url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/W/Pwalse102.htm | accessdate = 2008-04-11 ]

Career

After his graduation from the University of Notre Dame, where he also played College baseball, he joined the Chicago White Sox, the team that his father had become famous playing for years earlier.cite web| title = Ed Walsh Jr's Obituary | work = The New York Times, Monday, November 1st, 1937 | url=http://www.thedeadballera.com/Obits/Walsh.EdJr.Obit.html | accessdate = 2008-04-11 ] Over the first two years of his career, he spent most of time as a starting pitcher, with infrequent performances out of the bullpen. He found little success though, as his ERA totals were 4.96, and 5.65, with a combined record of 10-28 for the by|1928 and by|1929 seasons. The following year, he was no longer part of the pitching rotation, and spent most of his time as a relief pitcher, appearing in 37 games, also without much success. After the by|1930 season, he only had one more showing with the Sox and the Majors, pitching in four games in by|1932.

Before the by|1933 season, he was bought by Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League, where he has the claim to fame for stopping young Joe Dimaggio's minor league record 61 game hitting streak.cite web| title = The Baseball Biography Project: Ed Walsh | work = by Stuart Schimler @ SABR.org | url=http://bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&bid=1779&pid=14785 | accessdate = 2008-04-11 ] cite web| title = DiMaggio’s 61-Game Hitting Streak, Pacific Coast League | work = by Dennis Gaffney | url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/dimaggio/peopleevents/pande07.html | accessdate = 2008-04-11 ]

Death

He suddenly became ill in late 1937, and he returned to his parent's home in Meriden, where he lapsed into a coma and died at the age of 32. It was determined that he had suffered from an acute heart ailment caused by chronic rheumatism. He was interred at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Meridan.
