Charlie Buffinton began his career with the Boston Red Stockings in 1882, and in the following year, when the team renamed themselves the Beanaters, Buffinton became a star Pitcher, where he would win 20 Games each year from 1883 to 1885. The sinkerball specialist had an incredible 1884 campaign, going 48-16 with a 2.15 ERA and finishing third overall in bWAR among pitchers. It should also be noted that Buffinton was a good hitter, batting .255 for Boston over his career. Boston thought Buffinton was done after a bad 1886 season, and they sold him to the Philadelphia Quakers, where he rebounded and went on to win 233 Games.
Specifically, as a Beaneater, Buffinton went 104-70 with 911 Strikeouts.
