Pug Cavet

Tillar H. "Pug" Cavet (December 26, 1889 - August 4, 1966) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played three seasons for the Detroit Tigers in 1911, 1914, and 1915. Born in McGregor, Texas, Pug played in 49 games for the Detroit Tigers, 22 as a starter and 27 as a relief pitcher. He had a career record of 11-9 with eight complete games, one shutout, and an earned run average of 2.98 in 226-1/3 innings. His best year was 1914 when he played in 31 games, pitched 151-1/3 innings and had an ERA of 2.44. He was among the American League leaders in 1914 in both games finished (13) and hit batsmen (9).

On September 15, 1914, Cavet was the pitcher when Nap Lajoie hit his 3,000th hit to become the third player to reach that mark. Honus Wagner and Cap Anson reached the mark before Lajoie. Cavet and the Tigers won the game 2-1. [http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Pug_Cavet_1889&page=chronology]
