Biography

Con Lucid was a professional baseball pitcher whose career spanned from 1893 to 1897. Born in 1874, Lucid made his mark in the early days of professional baseball, an era characterized by its evolving rules and the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-oriented game. Throughout his career, he showcased his skills on the mound, finishing with a record of 23 wins and 23 losses. His earned run average (ERA) stood at 6.02, a reflection of the high-scoring nature of the game during that time. Lucid recorded a total of 65 strikeouts over his career, demonstrating his ability to fan batters amid the challenges of the era. While he did not secure any saves, his contributions to his teams were significant during a period when pitching strategies were still being developed.

His legacy, though not widely recognized today, remains a part of the rich tapestry of baseball history.
