Ray Prim
Raymond Lee Prim (December 30, 1906 – April 29, 1995), nicknamed "Pop", was an American pitcher who played Major League Baseball during the 1930s and 1940s. During his professional career, he also pitched for the Los Angeles Angels of the AAA-Class Pacific Coast League (PCL). In 2005, the PCL Hall of Fame elected Prim as a member.
Throughout the years 1933 and 1946 he appeared, during six the prior mentioned years, in at least one Major League game. He played for the Washington Senators, for the Philadelphia Phillies, and for the Chicago Cubs while at the Major League level. While with the Cubs, Prim won the 1945 National League ERA title. Prim started one game in the 1945 World Series, appeared in another, and lost his only decision.
In 116 Major League games, he won 22 games and lost 21 games and recorded 161 strikeouts. As a minor league player, Prim won 150 games and posted a career ERA of 3.00 in over 2,000 games.
Prim was born in Salitpa, Alabama, to Scots-Irish parents. As a youth, he burned his right hand. As result, though naturally right-handed, he threw with his left-hand, though he batted from the right side of the home plate.
He was educated in Jackson, Alabama, and attended college at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, where he lettered in baseball and football.
In 1928 Prim made his professional baseball debut. That year, he pitched with Alexandria of the Cotton States League; however, Alexandria cut Prim later that season. He did not play professional baseball again until 1930.
In 1931 Prim played with the Greensboro Patriots and the Durham Bulls of the C-Class Piedmont League. He won a combined 33 games that year and lost just 14.
Prim began the 1933 season with the Albany Senators of the International League where he went 14–10 with a 3.42 ERA. Shortly thereafter, the Chicago Cubs and Boston Braves entered into a dispute over his rights. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the Commissioner of Baseball, ruled that Albany had the right to sell them to the franchise of their choice. Although the dispute started with the Braves and the Cubs, it was the Washington Senators who won his rights.
