Spades Wood

Spades Wood, born in 1909, was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the early 1930s. His Major League career spanned from August 16, 1930, to September 21, 1931. During this brief time in the big leagues, Wood compiled a record of 6 wins and 9 losses, with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.61. He recorded a total of 56 strikeouts over the course of his career, although he did not register any saves. Wood's playing style reflected the transitional nature of baseball during the early 1930s, a period marked by shifts in pitching strategies and the increasing importance of strikeouts in the game. While he may not have achieved long-lasting fame or remarkable statistics, Wood's contributions to his teams were part of the larger tapestry of the sport during a time when baseball was evolving in the wake of the roaring twenties and the onset of the Great Depression. His career, though short, remains a testament to the many players who contributed to the history of baseball during this dynamic era.
