Dupee Shaw
Frederick Lander "Dupee" Shaw (May 31, 1859 – January 12, 1938), also sometimes known as "Wizard," was a professional baseball player from 1883 to 1896. The left-handed pitcher played Major League Baseball for six seasons with the Detroit Wolverines (1883–1884), Boston Reds (1884), Providence Grays (1885) and Washington Nationals (1886–1888). Shaw won 30 games in 1884 and 23 in 1885, but never won more than 13 games in any other season. He lost 33 games in 1884 and 31 in 1886. He had a career mark of 83–121 with a 3.10 earned run average (ERA). Shaw claimed to have been the first pitcher to use a wind-up before throwing the ball. Some attributed his ability to strikeout batters to his unusual windmill delivery. He once struck out the great slugger, Orator Shafer, five times in a single game, and in 1884, he struck out 451 batters, a total that remains the fourth highest total in major league history. He held the major league record for the most strikeouts in a game by a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fred Shaw (footballer)
Thomas Frederick Shaw (27 March 1909 – 1994) was an English professional footballer who scored 23 goals in 94 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham, Notts County, Mansfield Town and Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. Shaw was born in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. He began his football career with Annesley Colliery and also played for Darlaston before turning professional with Birmingham in October 1932. Shaw made his debut in the First Division on 29 January 1934 in a 3–1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers. A mobile, lightweight inside forward, Shaw did not fit into Birmingham's style of play, and enjoyed greater success when he moved to Notts County. Put straight into the starting eleven for the Second Division match at home to Swansea Town, Shaw repaid his manager with a hat-trick, becoming only the second player in Notts County history to achieve the feat on his debut. After scoring 21 goals in 56 league games in two-and-a-half seasons, Shaw spent a se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arena Football League
The Arena Football League (AFL) was a professional arena football league in the United States. It was founded in 1986, but played its first official games in the 1987 season, making it the third longest-running professional football league in North America after the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the National Football League (NFL) until the AFL closed in 2019. The AFL played a formerly proprietary code known as arena football, a form of indoor American football played on a 66-by-28 yard field (about a quarter of the surface area of an NFL field), with rules encouraging offensive performance, resulting in a typically faster-paced and higher-scoring game compared to NFL games. The sport was invented in the early 1980s and patented by Jim Foster, a former executive of the United States Football League (USFL) and the NFL. Each of the league's 32 seasons culminated in the ArenaBowl, with the winner being crowned the league's champion for that season. From 2000 to 2009, the AF ...

Fred Shaw (25 May 1881 – 22 January 1951) was a British socialist activist and trade unionist.

Organiser By 1903 he was active in the Lindley Labour Representation Committee, and in 1905, he was a founder of the Huddersfield Socialist Labour Party.
