Pink Hawley
Emerson Pink Hawley (December 5, 1872 – September 19, 1938) was an American professional baseball pitcher. From 1892 to 1901, he played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Browns, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, New York Giants, and Milwaukee Brewers. Hawley had a win–loss record of 167–179 and holds the National League (NL) career record for hit batsmen.
Emerson Hawley was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, in 1872. He had a twin brother, Elmer. The nurse who assisted in their birth put a pink ribbon on Emerson and a blue ribbon on Elmer, leading to them being called Pink and Blue. Growing up in Beaver Dam, the twins played baseball together, with Pink as the pitcher and Blue as the catcher; they were known as the "Pink and Blue battery."
In 1891, Blue died of pneumonia. Pink then played for a semi-professional team in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Hawley started his professional baseball career with the St. Louis Browns of the NL in August 1892. That season, he went 6–14 with a 3.19 earned run average (ERA) and 63 strikeouts.
In 1893, Hawley went 5–17 with a 4.60 ERA and 73 strikeouts.
In 1894, Hawley went 19–27 with a 4.90 ERA and 120 strikeouts. He led the NL with 27 losses, 10 games finished, and 21 hit batsmen.
In January 1895, the Browns traded Hawley to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hawley had his best season in 1895, going 31–22 with a 3.18 ERA and 142 strikeouts. He led the NL with 56 games pitched, 444.1 innings pitched, 4 shutouts, and 33 hit batsmen.
In 1896, Hawley went 22–21 with a 3.57 ERA and 137 strikeouts.
