Joseph Christopher Cleary (December 3, 1918 - June 3, 2004) was a Major League Baseball pitcher for one game in 1945. The right-hander was born in Cork, and he was the last native of Ireland to appear in a major league game. He also holds the major league record for the highest ERA of any pitcher who retired a batter. Cleary pitched one game in relief for the original Washington Senators on August 4, 1945. In the 4th inning of game 2 of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, he gave up 8 baserunners (5 hits and 3 walks) and 7 earned runs in just 1/3 of an inning. World War II amputee Bert Shepard came in to relieve and pitched the final 5 1/3 innings, giving up just one run. In Cleary's short MLB career he had a 0-0 record with 1 strikeout and an ERA of 189.00. He died at the age of 85 in Yonkers, New York. May 27 09, 8:17 PM

What was the name of the curse said to have been on World Series winners, the Boston Red Sox? Today the Houston Astros are facing a 3 - 0 deficit in the World Series. Has any team in World Series history ever come back from a 3 - 0 deficit? How about in MLB playoff history? Or even in US pro sport championship history? JFK was of course the first Irish American to be elected President of the US. However, the favour has been returned and we have had an American born President of Ireland. Can you name him? Which game is believed to have been taken to Scotland by Irish invaders some 1400 years ago and is derived from the Irish game of hurling?
