Biography
Clint Blume was a professional baseball pitcher born in 1898, who played in Major League Baseball during the early 1920s. His career spanned from 1922 to July 13, 1923, during a transitional period in baseball marked by the waning of the deadball era and the emergence of more offense-driven play.

Throughout his time in the league, Blume recorded a total of 4 strikeouts, reflecting his effectiveness as a pitcher in a time when many hurlers relied on control and finesse rather than sheer velocity. Though he did not earn any saves during his career, his contributions to the teams he played for were significant in a time when pitching depth was becoming increasingly vital to a team's success. Clint Blume's career, while short-lived, is a reminder of the many players who contributed to the evolution of the game in its formative years.
