Gus Weyhing

August Weyhing (September 29, 1866 – September 4, 1955) was an American pitcher in professional baseball. Nicknamed "Cannonball", "Rubber Arm Gun", and "Rubber-Winged Gus", he played for nine different Major League Baseball (MLB) teams from 1887 to 1901. Weyhing had a career win–loss record of 264–232. He holds the record for most batters hit in a career, with 277, and was the last major league pitcher to play without a baseball glove. He was listed at 5 feet 10 inches tall and 145 pounds. He had a younger brother, John Weyhing, who also pitched in the major leagues, and four older siblings. No other pitcher in history has more than 219. Weyhing is also tied for fifth all-time in most career wild pitches.

Weyhing spent his post-baseball years in Louisville, where he worked as a policeman, a saloonkeeper, and a night watchman for the Louisville Water Company. He died in Louisville on September 4, 1955.
