Jim Holdsworth
Baseball
In 1877, the Brooklyn Eagle described Holdsworth as "a good honest player, an excellent bat and a fine outfielder." Holdsworth went through an elaborate wind-up in preparation to hit pitches, such that the press dubbed him "the dancing batter."
Holdsworth carries the distinction of the lowest walk rate in history; he walked just 8 times in 1,489 plate appearances. (A walk was not earned with four balls until 1889, for several years in the 1870s taking as many as nine.)
In 1885, he played for the Rochester Flour Cities of the New York State League.
