	Fun Valley Hobart-Detter Field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Joe Wood's career was cruelly aborted by an injury at the height of his brilliant career as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox.
		Joe Wood was born Howard Ellsworth Wood in Kansas City on October 25, 1889, the second son of John and Rebecca Wood.
		Wood has nice curves and a pretty drop ball but has got to learn that a pitcher who uses nothing but curves is not destined for a lengthy stay in the big leagues.” Joe's next four appearances were in relief, but on October 3 he was given the start against Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.

		Smokey Joe could have been one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.
		Smokey Joe came back too fast from the injury and subsequently hurt his pitching shoulder and was never the same pitcher, again.
		In 1918, Wood showed his athleticism and hitting ability as he hit.296 playing both in the outfield and at second base.

	Smokey Joe Wood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe "Smoky Joe" Wood (October 25, 1889 - July 27, 1985) was a Major League Baseball player for the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians during the early part of the 20th century.
		Wood's best season came in 1912, in which Wood won 34 games, tied Johnson's record for 16 consecutive victories (and beat Johnson 1-0 in a highly publicized game that September) and went 3-1 in the World Series, including Boston's deciding Game 8 in which he beat Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson.
		They explained what they called "the Smokey Joe Wood Syndrome," where a player of truly exceptional talent but a career curtailed by injury should still, in spite of not having had career statistics that would quantitatively rank him with the all-time greats, should still be included on their list of the 100 greatest players.

	Joe Wood - BR Bullpen
		In 1948 Babe Ruth, shortly before his death, visited his old friend and teammate Joe Wood, who was at the time the coach of the Yale University baseball team.
		Ruth had his picture taken with Wood and the captain of the baseball team, a good-field, no-hit first baseman named George Bush, who would later become president of the United States in the late 1980's.
		Wood also coached his son, Joe Wood, who would play briefly in the majors.

		Wood remained a vigorous and entertaining follower of baseball until his death at age 95.
		Wood scores the winning run in the 8th, scoring from 3B on a wild pitch by Earl Hamilton.
		Cobb and Wood admit to the letters, but say it was a horse racing bet, and contend Leonard is angry for having been released to the Pacific Coast League by Cobb.

		The Red Sox had taken a three-games-to-one lead over the Giants in the World Series (Game 2 had been a darkness-induced tie), and the next day their ace, Smokey Joe Wood -- 34-5 for the season, 2-0 in the Series -- would take the mound for the clincher.
		Wood would have been coming back on two days rest -- as he had earlier in the Series -- and like all Dead Ball Era aces, his workload had been back-breaking.
		But under the guise of protecting Wood's arm he was giving himself a fighting, or rather a losing, chance.

		Wood and the Red Sox prevailed, 4-3, with second baseman Steve Yerkes delivering a tie-breaking, two-run single in the seventh inning.
		Mathewson was still pitching for New York, while Wood had taken over in the eighth for Bedient (who left the game in the seventh for a pinch-hitter, Olaf Henriksen, whose double tied the score).
		While Wood retired the side without further damage, the Red Sox were faced with trying to rebound from a 2-1 deficit against Mathewson, who had been his usual stingy self all afternoon.
