1. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: April 04, 2005 at 01:41 AM (#1230250)Very nice peak from 1932-35, but was never the same after that. Cut his career a bit short because he was itching to become an umpire. Umped in the majors from 1949-58.
He comes off looking good. MOWP-stuff helps him, unlike Bridges.

He threw 99 innings in 1942 and 88.3 innings in 1943 - anyone know when he got the call? When he came back?
According to the Neyer/James book mentioned above, Warneke didn't report for his Army physical until March 1944 (he wasn't a draft dodger - he just didn't get called until then). So he was not affected by the service until 1944, but missed the entire 1944 season. The book notes that the "got out of the Army in '45 and pitched a few more games."
He pitched nine games in 1945 - presumably towards the end of the year, but I don't know for sure. He was clearly in his decline phase by that time.
