SAM LEEVER, PITSBURGH PIRATES?

Question

Does anyone remember Sam Leever, pitcher for Pittsburgh Pirates in the early 1900's? I have looked at many web sites but cannot see if he had a jersey number. He lived across the road from my grandparents at Goshen, Ohio until his death in about 1953.

Answer 1

I never did like the Pirates.

Answer 2

He played from 1898 - 1910. During those times, players did not wear uniform numbers. They started wearing numbers after 1929 collectively. (Theres more history on uniform numbers in the link below)
