Toad Ramsey from the Chronology
Jun 28, 1889 - Kansas City (AA) speedster Billy Hamilton hits 3 triples off Guy Hecker in the first game of a doubleheader and adds another triple in game 2 a ML record. Toad Ramsey serves up the nitecap triple. The Cowboys win both games with Louisville 7-3 and 9-3.

Jun 17, 1889 - With the pay and fine situations unresolved the Louisville regulars return to the lineup and lose a doubleheader 10-6 and 10-0. Pitcher Toad Ramsey blows a 6-3 lead in the 9th of the opener and the Colonels make 7 errors in the nitecap while managing just one hit. George Goetz is the Baltimore starter in the opener and as noted by David Nemec has the worst offensive performance of any player with a one-game career: 4 strikeouts in 4 at bats.
