Cubs 365, December 17

On this day in 1859, future Chicago pitcher Wild Bill Hutchinson was born. Wild Bill had his season to remember in 1892. He led the league in wins the previous 2 seasons as well, but in 1892, Hutchinson had the whole package. He started 70(!) games, completed 67 of those, and led the league in wins and strikeouts. During the three years of 1890-1892, he pitched nearly 1800 innings, far and away the highest total in the league.

Wild Bill passed away in 1926 at the age of 66.
