Vive Lindaman from the Chronology

Oct 4, 1906 - Boston (NL) hurlers Vive Lindaman and Irv Young lose 3-2 and 2-1 to Brooklyn. The Beaneaters ?nish last with 102 losses. Four hardworking hurlers bear the brunt: Young and Gus Dorner each lose 25 games; Lindaman‚ 23; and Frank "Big Jeff" Pfeffer‚ 22.

Apr 14, 1906 - Little-used Jack Doscher makes his only start of the year for Brooklyn‚ but loses to Boston‚ 1-0. Doscher is the first lefty to start a game for Brooklyn in 4 years. Used mostly for batting practice‚ Doscher will shortly jump the team in a salary squabble. The win goes to Vive Lindaman‚ making his first major league start. Vive better get used to the lack of support; he'll lose 23 games this year‚ eight by shutouts. No rookie will have it worse.

Dec 15, 1905 - After losing a record 29 games this year‚ veteran righthander Vic Willis is traded by 7th-place Boston (NL) to Pittsburgh for 3 players: Del Howard‚ infielder Dave Brain‚ who the Pirates acquired from the Cardinals in mid-season‚ and Vive Lindaman. Willis will rebound with 4 straight 20-win seasons.
