Playing all of his nine of his Major League seasons with the Washington Senators, Jim Shaw may have had a losing record over his career (84-98), Jim Shaw was still a good pitcher who would finish in the top ten in Strikeouts four times and would lead the AL in Innings Pitched in 1919.  He was nicknamed “Grunting” Jim Shaw, as like many tennis players when they hit the ball, he would grunt with every pitch.
