Vangilder was with the Browns from 1919 through 1927, establishing a club record
for games pitched (323). He was 19-13 at his best in 1922 and led the majors with
11 relief wins in 1925. He halted two of minor league baseball's greatest hitting
streaks: Joe Wilhoit's 69-game streak, while pitching for Tulsa (Western League)
on August 20, 1919; and Reading's Joe Quellich's string of 15 consecutive hits, while
on the mound for Montreal (
International League) on August 12, 1929.
