McGinnity, Joe, 1871-1929
Variant namesJoe McGinnity was nicknamed Iron Man because he worked in a foundry during the offseason, but the moniker eventually came to describe the way he pitched. He was famous for starting both ends of a doubleheader, and in 1903, he pulled off the feat three times in a single month, winning all six games. McGinnity was a key cog of pennant-winning teams with Brooklyn in 1900 and the New York Giants in 1905. Following his Major League career, he pitched in the Minors until he was 54 years old, retiring with nearly 500 wins as a professional. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946.
