You know you had a long career when you can lose 251 games and still get in to the hall of fame. To go with all those loses, Eppa Rixey also won 266 games in his career spread between the Phillies and the Reds. That was the most by a lefty in National League history until Warren Spahn passed the mark in 1959. This was a cool picture to paint as that glove in his hand totally reminds me of the one my dad used when we first started playing catch. Love those old mitts!
