Short Biography
Jim Hughey was born on March 8th, 1869 in Wakeshma, Michigan and died in Coldwater, Michigan at the age of 76. He was a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1891, the Chicago Colts in 93, the Pittsburgh Pirates from 96 to 97, the St. Louis Browns/St. Louis Cardinals from 98 to 1900, and Cleveland Spiders in 1899 where he holds the record for being the last major league pitcher to lose 30 games in one season. Shortly after his other siblings were born he and his family packed up and moved to Algansee Township in Branch County, Michigan just seven miles southeast from Coldwater. It was there in Coldwater that Jim developed a love of baseball and many other sports like fishing, trapping, and hunting. When he was old enough he joined the local athletics club and started pitching for them. His team were the area’s number one team and one of the greatest in south central Michigan who brought in players from all over the country to play for them. During his time with the club he led them to a regional championship in 1889 before leaving.
