Woody Main Biography

Woody Main
Woody Main
  • Born Feb. 12, 1922

Born in Delano, California, Main first signed with the New York Yankees and pitched in their farm system in 1941โ€“42 and 1946โ€“47, and served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Although he compiled a poor wonโ€“loss record of 22โ€“44 during his four years in the Yankee system, he did post a winning mark (7โ€“6) with the 1947 Kansas City Blues and when the Blues\' manager, Billy Meyer, was appointed skipper of the 1948 Pirates, he selected Main in the winter Rule 5 draft. Main spent the next seven seasons in the Pittsburgh organization, including two full seasons (1948 and 1952) at the MLB level.\n', '

The 1952 Pirates โ€” losers of 112 games and finishing 54โ€‹1โ„2 games out of first place in the National League โ€” are often listed as one of the worst teams in Major League history. Main worked in a team-leading 48 games for the 1952 Bucs, eleven as a starting pitcher. Although he won only two of 14 decisions, he threw two complete games and recorded two saves, and his 4.46 earned run average was almost two-tenths of a point lower than the staff ERA of 4.65. One of his victories (and complete games) was a 6โ€“2 triumph over the defending NL champion New York Giants on June 17 at the Polo Grounds.\n', '

Main gave up 210 hits and 84 bases on balls in 204โ€‹2โ„3 innings of Major League service, while notching 107 strikeouts. He left baseball after the 1954 season.\n', '
