Gould Honored by First Ballot Selection to ABL Hall of Fame Wednesday, January 4th, 2034 The journey took a while, but he finally arrived -- one of baseball's finest hurlers, Maurice Gould, is now a member of the ADULT BASEBALL LEAGUE Hall of Fame. Commenting on his election, one of his longtime managers said, "My idea of managing is giving the ball to Maurice Gould and sitting down and watching him work. He certainly made my job easier. And he certainly made me a better manager." And pitch he certainly did -- Gould appeared in 524 games in his career, tossed 3676 innings with 3831 strikeouts and compiled an impressive 266-130 record and 3.45 ERA. One of his opposing managers had this to say about Gould, "Maurice was one of the greatest pitchers I ever saw. He had knowledge, movement and form. It was wonderful to watch him pitch when he wasn't pitching against you. It was poetry in motion." The newest member of the Hall of Fame retired at age 44 and will be inducted at ceremonies this weekend. |
