He was Major League Baseball's first 300-game winner. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1965. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Galvin played in an era where two-man pitching rotations were common - hence his 6,003 innings pitched and 646 complete games, both of which are second only to the career totals of Cy Young. Incredibly, he pitched over 70 complete games in both 1883 and 1884 and 65 in 1879. Galvin is the only player in baseball history to win 20 or more games in 10 different years without winning a pennant, finishing his career with a total of 365 wins and 310 losses.
