[edit] Biography
Born on July 26, 1914 in Atkins, Arkansas, Ellis Kinder (Ellis Raymond Kinder) played for the St. Louis Browns, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox over the course of his 12 year career. Kinder broke into the bigs on April 30, 1946 with the St. Louis Browns, and put up a 3.32 ERA in 86.2 innings pitched in 1946, his rookie year.
