Robert Green "Bob" Harmon was a right-handed pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals during what is known as the dead ball era of modern major league baseball. In the two seasons in which he won a total of 41 games, 1911-1912, he was the equal of the best pitchers of his era. On one afternoon he defeated the New York Giants and their ace hurler Christy Mathewson. The period before Babe Ruth came to prominence is an often overlooked era in baseball history. The exceptions to this maxim are biographies which profile the star players, i.e. Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Mathewson, Walter Johnson, etc. Bob Harmon was raised as an adopted child by his mother's sister and her husband. Bob lived in the western U.S. before coming to the midwest to live and play for the Cardinals. He became a successful businessman in Louisiana prior to dying unexpectedly in 1961. He was selected as farmer of the year on one occasion and was an active member of the Masons. My eBook also looks at Harmon's early life and ancestry. His legacy is a noteworthy one in Missouri, where he spent much of his youth, and in his adopted home, near Monroe, Louisiana.
