About John Wyckoff
Major League Baseball Player. Called Weldon throughout his life and during his baseball career, he attended Bucknell University. In 1911 at the age of 19 he began playing baseball with the Wilmington Chicks in the Tri-State League, a minor league team. He played six seasons in the major leagues as a right-handed pitcher. He played with the Philadelphia Athletics (1913 to 1916) and Boston Red Sox (1916 to 1918). He appeared in 114 games, 63 as a starting pitcher. During his ML career he won 23 and lost 34 with an earned run average of 3.55. He struck out 299 batters. Although he had a fast curveball, he was prone to wildness. In fact in 1915, he led the American League in walks allowed with 165. After his last major league season, he retired to his home in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he ran a taxicab business that he had inherited from his father. In the early 1920s he moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, where he worked in the warehouse and did office work for Postum and Kellogg cereal companies. In 1926, he moved to Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, ostensibly to play for the Sheboygan Chairmakers in the Wisconsin outlaw league. When his barnstorming baseball playing abilities declined, he worked variously as a bar tender and machinist in Sheboygan Falls until his death from a heart attack.
