Bill Bailey (baseball)

William F. Bailey (April 12, 1888 – November 2, 1926) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the St. Louis Browns (1907-12), Baltimore Terrapins (1914-15), Chicago Whales (1915), Detroit Tigers (1918), and St. Louis Cardinals (1921-22). He had a career record of 38-76 with a 3.57 ERA. But despite his poor overall record, in the inaugural Federal League season of 1914, Bailey fanned more than one batter per inning (131 strikeouts in 128 2/3 innings, or 9.2 strikeouts per 9 innings), a virtually unheard-of feat in that era. In the 1910-19 decade no other pitcher with at least 100 innings pitched even approached that level, with Rube Marquard (7.7 strikeouts per 9 innings in 1911) being a distant second. Nonetheless, poor Bill even had a losing record (7-9) in that season.
