Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography George Gates Bristow (May 13, 1870 – October 17, 1939) was a professional baseball player. He played three games as an outfielder in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Spiders in 1899. Bristow was 5 feet, 10 inches, and weighed 170 pounds.[1]
Career
Bristow was born in Paw Paw, Illinois, in 1870. He started his professional baseball career in 1894.[2] In 1895, Bristow was a pitcher and captain for the Texas-Southern League's Galveston Sandcrabs. He won 23 consecutive games that year, breaking Jack Luby's "world's record" of 20.[3] Bristow, who played second base while not pitching, also had a batting average of .341 in 89 games.[4]
Bristow spent most of the following season playing for the Newark Colts of the Atlantic League. In 52 games there, he batted .324 and had a 10-7 win–loss record as a pitcher. Bristow then had one-year stints in the Texas League (Waco Tigers) and Southwestern League before being acquired by the National League's Cleveland Spiders in early 1899.[2][5] He made his major league debut on April 15 against pitcher Cy Young, going hitless.[1][6] On April 21, he sprained his ankle and had to leave the game.[7] Bristow's third appearance came on May 8, when he replaced an ejected Lave Cross. Bristow doubled in that game for his first and only major league hit.[8] Later that month, he was released to the Western League's Kansas City Blues and never appeared in the majors again.[2][6]
For the next few years, Bristow played in the minors. He batted .251 in the Western League in 1900 before moving on to the Iowa-South Dakota League, Pacific National League, Pacific Coast League, and Northwestern League, where he was a player-manager in 1905.[2]
Bristow's professional baseball career ended in 1906.[2] He died in Bellingham, Washington, in 1939, and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.[1]
