FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»July 2, 1903:
Pitcher Jack Doscher, making his debut with the Chicago Cubs, is the first son of a former ML player to also play in the ML. Father Herm was a third baseman with Troy, Chicago, and Cleveland before the turn of the century. Jack loses today at Philadelphia, 7-2, and will end the season with the Brooklyn Superbas.
»April 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 four 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.
