Born #OTD in 1891 in Glasgow, Missouri was John Donaldson, arguably the greatest pitcher not in the Hall of Fame. He started his pro career in 1911 with the Tennessee Rats and would over time play for the Hannaca Blues, Missouri Black Tigers and the legendary Kansas City…

On this date in 1891, Black Baseball legend John Wesley Donaldson—likely the greatest pitcher you’ve never heard of, the man who was Satchel Paige’s pitching coach—was born in Glasgow, MO. @nlbmprez @NLBMuseumKC @NSLMBham @MLB @negroleaguerspr @MLBNetwork @SABRwomeninbb…

@jay_jaffe @fangraphs I had not heard of John Donaldson until yesterday, when I read Cody Stavenhagen’s excellent article on him and the quest to gain him recognition for eventual Hall of Fame induction.

@2Corinth3_18 @baseballhall @MLB @petegorton @TheDonaldsonNet @MLBNetwork @NLBMuseumKC That’s essentially penalizing him for playing in an era prior to the Negro Leagues at a time that he couldn’t play in the Majors. He could only play against the competition he could play against.

John Donaldson not earning a place in Cooperstown tonight would be travesty. Far too many people have no idea what type of dominance he routinely displayed.

John Donaldson…a lefty with a deceptive delivery hiding the ball very well. John McGraw said he was the best he ever saw…Donaldson had over 5,000 strikeouts…had 43 games where he K’d 20 hitters & two games with 30 Ks. He was a colossal talent.

@oddsox1919 @TheDonaldsonNet @Twins @MNTwinsZealot I'm concerned about the quantity of quality candidates and the votes being split. Hopefully they collaborate and consolidate their votes on four candidates they can all agree on.

John Donaldson didn't play for any of the current 30 MLB franchises, so he doesn't have a team championing his Hall of Fame case like many other candidates. But it's honestly flabbergasting that the @Twins have been dead silent about this man whose baseball exploits all over the…

Disappointing for sure…Donaldson was a pioneer…pitched for 30 years…422 wins…14 no hitters…2 perfect games…played in 131 MN towns. Deserves to be in the HOF.
