Senators Short Timer Jim Hayes would be on the Senators roster for almost 1 month in July and August of 1935. Pitching in 7 games, Hayes would post a 2-4 record and depart the Senators, and the majors, with an 8.36 ERA.
Albert Wayne Hollingsworth B Feb. 25, 1908 D Apr. 28, 1996
Debuting with the Cincinnati Reds in 1935, pitcher Al Hollingsworth would play for 6 different teams over an 11 year career.
Hollingsworth would post a 6-13 record in 38 games his rookie season, finishing with a 3.89 ERA. He’d remain with the Reds through June of 1938 when he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Finishing the 1938 season in Philadelphia, Hollingsworth would start the 1939 season in Philadelphia as well. In mid-July he was traded once again, this time to the New York Yankees. However, Hollingsworth would never play for the Bronx Bombers and would be sold 1 month later to the Brooklyn Dodgers where he’d finish the 1939 season going 1-2 in 8 games.
Hollingsworth was on the move again just prior to the start of the 1940 season when he was sold to the Washington Senators. He’d pitch in 3 games for Washington, posting a 1-0 record, but with a 5.50 ERA and would be returned to Brooklyn less than 1 month after his purchase.
Hollingsworth would not play in the major leagues for the rest of the 1940 season, nor would he appear in 1941.
Resurfacing with the St. Louis Browns in 1942, Hollingsworth would post the first winning record of his career (if we discount the 1-0 mark during his brief stint in Washington) by going 10-6 in 33 games for the Browns, lowering his ERA to 2.96 in the process.
Hollingsworth would make his only postseason appearance with the Browns in 1944 pitching in 1 game of the World Series as the Cardinals defeated the Browns in 6 games.
Hollingsworth would remain with the Browns through June of 1946 when he was released and signed by the Chicago White Sox.
Hollingsworth would go 3-2 in 21 games with the Pale Hose, his last major league appearance coming in late September of 1946.
