Searching newspapers.com for "Gyp Jordan" and "pitcher", I get many hits. Searching for "Rip Jordan" and "pitcher", I get no hits (at least none between 1909 and 1930).

What contemporary source refers to him as "Rip"? 2601:98A:4100:1620:49A9:3BB7:B698:F1C (talk) 00:58, 12 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
