Mordecai Brown
Page 20
In 1901 Mordecai, with the help of 600 fans who threatened to boycott the games if he didn’t make the team, secured a spot on the Terre Haute Tots; or Hottentots, in the newly formed Three I League. Mordecai led the semi-professional team to the first ever Three-I championship, posting a 25-8 record.
Mordecai was picked up by Omaha in the Western League the following year, and reporters started calling him Three Finger. He became the staff workhorse, posting a 27-15 record and finishing every game he started.
