	Addie Joss
		Adrian "Addie" Joss was born in Woodland, Wisconsin, in 1880.
		During the off-season Joss was a sportswriter for the Toledo News-Bee.
		So well thought of was Joss that the top AL players of the day formed an all-star team to play the Indians for the benefit of his widow, raising nearly $13,000 -- a handsome sum back in the day.

		So well thought of was Joss that the top AL players of the day formed an all-star team to play the Indians for the benefit of his widow.
		Joss pitched only nine years; it was his ERA that convinced the Veterans Committee to bend the 10-year career minimum rule and let him into the Hall of Fame.
		Addie holds the Tigers scoreless after that, but the 3-2 loss-according to the ruling at the time-goes to Joss [this loss will bounce back and forth between the two pitchers].

	Smokey Joe Wood - HOF? - Baseball Fever

		Joss is pushing it; nonetheless he started at least 30 games five times, and also posted a 29, 28, and 24.
		Actually, Joss, who was only in the majors for 9 years and was basically useless for the ninth of those years, is the usual benchmark for short career pitchers...

		But Paddy is released before Joss arrives, and must content himself with following Joss' career in the box scores and as a fan at the ball park.
		Back in the minors, Paddy struggles to start a family, to deal with the system that binds players to the teams that own their contracts, and to avoid the temptations of gamblers that threaten to bring the sport to ruin.

	Notes from the Shadows of Cooperstown
		Addie Joss was as obscure a Hall of Famer as I'd heard of.
		But I soon learned that it's also the research capitol of the planet, for all things baseball, that is. In Addie Joss' file I found amazing things -- telegrams from the Mr and Mrs Cobb to Addie's widow, an actual blueprint that Addie drew, for an electronic scoreboard, and scads of articles.
		Since the Eck was still pitching (out of the pen, of course) when I finished Mornings After, he made the perfect bridge between Addie and Paddy and their era, to today.
