Before Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth there was Robert Lee "Parisian Bob" Caruthers (1865-1911). A wunderkind pitcher and right fielder known throughout the country, he was the star on the mound for five league championships in 10 years, and one of two players in history--along with Ruth--to lead the Major Leagues in ERA+ (adjusted earned run average) and OPS+ (on-base plus slugging plus).
Coming from a wealthy family, Caruthers had something other players didn''t--leverage. This resulted in several holdouts, including one which took him to Europe. This first full-length biography rediscovers one of baseball''s most interesting characters and first two-way stars.
