There are 4 Wisconsin born players in the HOF Kid Nichols (Madison) 361 wins good for 7th all-time, won 30 games a record 7 times. Mostly played with the Boston Beaneaters, later the Boston and Milwaukee Braves. Best pitcher of the 1890s. Addie Joss (Woodland) Only HOF to play at the University of Wisconsin, threw a perfect game an another no hitter. 2nd lowest career ERA and lowest career WHIP. These were achieved because he did not have a decline phase in his career; he died at age 31 and long after made the HOF despite not playing the required 10 seasons. Burleigh Grimes (Emerald) Had a long above average career with 270 wins, but is most notable for being the last active spitball pitcher who was grandfathered in after it was banned in 1920. Al Simmons (Milwaukee) Had 100+ RBI in his first 11 straight seasons, a record, and was the fastest player to reach 2000 hits (in only 1390 games). Hit .392 in 1927, .390 in 1931, .387 in 1925 and .381 in 1930. Tried to hang on for 3000 hits with several bad final seasons but only made it to 2927 knocks. When he retired his 307 HRs were the 5th most all-time.
