[edit] Biographical Information
Doc Landis pitched only one season in the major leagues, in the American Association in its inauigural 1882 season. He started the year with the Philadelphia Athletics, going 1-1 in 2 games, before joining the Baltimore Orioles. He was the Birds' top pitcher, starting 39 games for the team, with a record of 11-27. The O's finished last in the league, and Landis led the league in a number of negative categories: most losses, and most hits, home runs and earned runs allowed.
