He started his minor league baseball career in 1906.
[4]
Despite his nickname, he was a city kid. As he told it in
The Glory of Their Times
, a writer in his minor league days compared him favorably with
Rube Waddell
, and very soon Marquard was being called "Rube" also.
[5]
In 1907, he went 23–13 with a 2.01
earned run average
and led the
Central League
in wins.
[6]
In 1908, he went 28–19 with a 1.69 ERA and led the
American Association
in wins.
[7]
The New York Giants purchased Marquard for ,000 – a then unheard-of sum to pay for a baseball player's contract – and his lack of success early in his major league career led to his being tagged "the ,000 lemon".
In 1914, Marquard went 12–22, and in 1915, he joined the
Brooklyn Robins
. He helped the team win pennants in 1916 and 1920. He then played for the
Cincinnati Reds
in 1921 and
Boston Braves
from 1922 to 1925.
[8]
From 1911 to 1913, Marquard won at least 23 games each season and helped the Giants win three consecutive
National League
pennants. In 1911, he led the league with 237
strikeouts
. In 1912, he led the league with 26 wins.
[8]
He also made baseball history by winning 19 decisions in a row. Marquard allegedly celebrated by buying an opal stickpin to reward himself. Upon being told by a friend that opals were a
jinx
, he threw the pin into a river; but apparently the curse had already done its work, as he lost his next decision.
Marquard finished his major league career in 1925 with a record of 201–177 and a 3.08 ERA.
[8]
His 1,593 strikeouts ranked third in major league history among left-handers at the time (behind Rube Waddell and
Eddie Plank
), and stood as the National League record for southpaws until his total was surpassed by
Carl Hubbell
, another New York Giant, in 1942.
He later pitched and managed in the minor leagues until 1933.
[4]
After baseball, he worked as a betting window teller at
Narragansett Park
.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
