  Ray Caldwell . On August 24th that year, playing for the Indians, he was struck by lightning while pitching with two outs in the 9th inning against the Philadelphia Athletics; he was knocked unconscious, but was revived and finished the game by retiring Joe Dugan for the last out! The next season, 1920 he went 20-10 for the pennant-winning Indians and pitched once in the 1920 World Series, failing to escape the first inning. The Indians still won the series. After an off year in 1921, he was back in the minors for many years, from 1922 to 1933. He won 22 games for Kansas City in 1922 and 20 games for Birmingham in 1930.
