One of the first relief aces, the righthanded junk-baller threw underhand, sidearm, and three-quarters. His 61 appearances in 1939 set the (since broken) ML record for relievers. A fair starter for the Indians from 1930 through 1933, with a 15-12 mark in 1932 his best, he was switched to relief in 1934 and then sold to the White Sox two years later. He led the AL in saves (18) in 1937 and relief wins (11) in 1939. (JK)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » May 26, 1930: The Indians take a pair from the White Sox winning 7–3 and 3–2 behind Wes Ferrell and Clint Brown. Ferrell's mound opponent Red Faber holds the Tribe hitless until two are out in the 5th, when eight straight hits drive him from the mound. In the nitecap, White Sox lefty Pat Caraway twice throws third-strike seeds past Joe Sewell, an occurrence that Joe later blames on the white shirts in the CF bleachers. It is the last time the Indians 3B will fan this season, and he will end the year by striking out only three times in 353 at bats. Once before, on May 13, 1923, Sewell was fanned twice in a game. » September 30, 1939: White Sox reliever Clint Brown sets a ML record with his 61st relief appearance.
