[edit] Biography
Born on August 7, 1864 in Westfield, Massachusetts, Adonis Terry (William H. Terry) played for the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Pittsburgh Pirates, Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Colts over the course of his 14 year career. Terry broke into the bigs on May 1, 1884 with the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, and put up a 3.55 ERA in 476 innings pitched in 1884, his rookie year.
