Ted Cather

Theodore Physick Cather (May 20, 1889 in Chester, Pennsylvania – April 9, 1945 in Elkton, Maryland), was a Major League Baseball player who played outfielder from 1912-1915. He would play for the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Braves.

In 1914, Cather was a member of the Braves team that went from last place to first place in two months, becoming the first team to win a pennant after being in last place on the Fourth of July.

Famous quotes containing the word cather:

    ... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
