[edit] Biographical Information
George "Pea Soup" Dumont had a strong start to his major league career in 1915 with the Washington Senators, posting a 2.03 ERA at age 19. His ERA in 1916 was slightly below average, but in 1917, when he got most of his major league work, it was again better than average. He finished up his major league time with the 1919 Boston Red Sox, in Babe Ruth's last year with the team. One of Dumont's teammates on the Senators was none other than Walter Johnson.
