Archie McKain

Archie Richard McKain (May 12, 1911 - May 21, 1985), nicknamed "Happy," was a left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played six seasons with the Boston Red Sox (1937-1938), Detroit Tigers (1939-1941), and St. Louis Browns (1941-1942). Born in Delphos, Kansas, McKain went 8-8 as a Red Sox rookie in 1937. He was traded to the Tigers with Pinky Higgins in December 1938 for Elden Auker and two other players. McKain went 5-0 with a 2.82 ERA (Adjusted ERA+ of 168) for the 1940 Tigers, with 17 games finished. When the Browns traded him to Brooklyn in July 1943, he quit the game and returned to his native Kansas to farm. McKain died in 1985 at Salina, Kansas.
