This burly, 6'3" reliever had strong arms and hands from milking cows. With the Browns,
Kimsey's five relief losses in 1929, and seven in 1930, were AL highs. The lifetime
.282 batter was sometimes used to pinch-hit.

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
|
| » September 23, 1932: Trailing 8–6 to Cleveland after five innings, White Sox reliever Bill Chamberlain gives up five runs to start the 6th. In disgust, Sox manager Lou Fonseca, an infielder-outfielder throughout his career, inserts himself as pitcher. With two runners on, he retires all three batters he faces, then turns the ball over to Chad Kimsey to finish the game. The Tribe wins, 13–6, as Wes Ferrell wins his 23rd. |
