Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography Claude Judson "Chaucer" Elliott (November 17, 1876 – June 22, 1923) was a professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of two seasons (1904–1905) with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants. For his career, he compiled a 3–3 record in 22 appearances, with a 3.33 earned run average and 47 strikeouts. He was a member of the 1905 World Series champions Giants, though he did not play in the World Series.

In 1905, Elliott relieved 8 times in his 10 appearances. Though saves were not an official statistic until 1969, Elliot was retroactively credited with six saves that season, a record at that time. His manager, John McGraw, was one of the first to use a relief pitcher to save games.[1][2]

On June 29, 1905, while playing for the Giants, Elliott played a part in history that would be immortalized some 80 years later with the making of Field of Dreams. The movie included a depiction of Moonlight Graham, who only played one inning in Major League baseball and never got an at-bat. It was Elliot who flied out ending the top of the ninth inning with Graham on deck.[3]

Elliott was born in Pardeeville, Wisconsin.[4][5] He died of muscular atrophy in Pardeeville at the age of 46.[4][5][6]
