 Rube Marquard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rube Marquard of the New York Giants at the West Side Grounds in 1909.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, his playing rights were acquired for $13,000 - a then unheard-of sum to pay for a ballplayer's contract - and his lack of success early on led to his being tagged "the $13,000 lemon".
According to both Marquard himself in The Glory of Their Times and the Baseball Hall of Fame's entry on him, the price paid for his contract was actually $11,000, not $13,000.
