Joe Sullivan (pitcher)
Joe Sullivan (September 26, 1910 – April 8, 1985) was a left-handed American baseball pitcher.
Sullivan played professional baseball from 1931 to 1949, including five seasons in Major League Baseball with the Detroit Tigers (1935–36), Boston Bees / Braves (1939–41), and Pittsburgh Pirates (1941). In five major league seasons, he compiled a record of 30–37 with a 4.01 earned run average (ERA). A knuckleball specialist, Sullivan once pitched 12 straight scoreless innings as a relief pitcher.
Sullivan was born in 1910 in Mason City, Illinois. His family moved west, initially to Twin Falls, Idaho, and then to Tracyton, Washington, where his father went to work in the shipyards. Sullivan was a three-sport athlete, playing football, baseball, and basketball, at Silverdale High School where he graduated in 1928.
After high school, Sullivan played semi-pro ball for the Bremerton Cruisers of the Northwest League. In 1929, he played for New Westminster of the Vancouver City League.
In 1930, Sullivan signed with a scout for the New York Yankees and was assigned to the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League (PCL). He was then released and played for the Tucson Missions of the Arizona State League. He compiled a 12–3 record in 1931.
In June 1931, the Beaumont Exporters of the Texas League, purchased Sullivan from Tucson for $1,500. He remained with Beaumont from the end of the 1931 season through the 1933 season.
In 1934, he returned to the Hollywood Stars and compiled a 25–11 season with a 2.88 earned run average (ERA).
With his strong performance in 1934, Sullivan was promoted to the Detroit Tigers in 1935. In his first start on April 28, he pitched a complete game victory and had two RBIs against the Cleveland Indians. He followed with two more complete game victories over the Boston Red Sox on May 4 and the Washington Senators on May 10 to extend his record to 3–0.
