For a few seasons in the early 1930’s, Alvin “General” Crowder was the unquestioned ace of the Senator’s staff. A veteran of World War I, Crowder got his start late in baseball and when he was at his apex in his early to mid 30’s. He would win 26 and 24 Games respectively in 1932 and 1933, more than enough to lead the American League.
Crowder had a record in Washington of 98-69 with 480 Strikeouts.
