[edit] Biographical Information
Fred House pitched 19 games for the 1913 Tigers.
He was the first of several major leaguers with the last name "House". His hometown, Cabool, MO, is a town which now has around 1,000 people located in south-central Missouri.
In a photo taken in 1913, he towers over the shorter Donie Bush. Fred was 6 ' 3 " while Bush was 5 ' 6 ", but the difference looks bigger than that.
Fred also pitched for Kewanee in 1912-13, winning in double figures each year.
