Dutch Ruether
Walter Henry Ruether (September 13, 1893 – May 16, 1970) was an American baseball player who pitched for five different major league teams. In his 11-year career, Ruether played for the Chicago Cubs, the Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyn Robins, the Washington Senators, and the New York Yankees.
He appeared in the 1919 World Series with the Reds, in the 1925 World Series with the Senators, and in the 1926 World Series with the Yankees. Ruether was also a member of the 1927 Yankees. Though that team played in the 1927 World Series, Ruether did not participate in any of the games.
Ruether was born in Alameda, California to his mother Augusta and his father Frederick Ruether who were German immigrants. He was youngest of his family, having two older siblings. During his childhood, his father Frederick was a partner in a cigar manufacturing business in San Francisco.
When he became an adult, Ruether attended St. Ignatius College. On March 10, 1913, St. Ignatius participated in an exhibition game against the Chicago White Sox. Ruether, a left-hander, pitched in the game for St. Ignatius. In the ninth-inning, White Sox shortstop Buck Weaver hit a 3-run home run off Ruether. This secured the victory for the White Sox, and Ruether lost the contest 4–2.
Ruether parlayed his strong outing into a try-out with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. After reporting to Hot Springs, Arkansas for the Pirates' training camp, he signed a contract. The contract stated that Ruether could opt out if the Pirates attempted to assign him to a Minor league farm team. The Pirates did just that, and consequently, Ruether left the organization.
After he left the Pirates, Ruether went to play in the Northwest League. He spent the 1914 season and the 1915 season with the Vancouver Beavers. In 1916, Ruether moved to the Spokane Indians. That team went on to win the pennant.
In 1917, Ruether signed with the Chicago Cubs. He made his Major League debut in April of that year. After he had appeared in 10 games for the Cubs, the Cincinnati Reds selected Ruether off waivers on July 17, 1917.
After finishing the 1917 season, Ruether enlisted in the United States Army due to the break out of World War I. He reported to Camp Lewis.
