Adrian Joss, born in Woodland, Wisconsin, on April 12, 1880, played baseball for Watertown and Watertown's Sacred Heart Team in 1899 and, with future major league catcher John P. "Red" Kleinow, played before large crowds at Washington Park. On April 26, 1902, Joss pitched a one-hitter for Cleveland in his major league debut and played for that team through 1910. As a pitcher, he won twenty or more games for four straight years, had a lifetime 1.89 ERA, and is credited with two no-hitters, including a perfect game on Oct. 2, 1908. Considered one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978 and to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1951. John P. "Red" Kleinow, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 20, 1879, also played for Watertown and Watertown's Sacred Heart Team at Washington Park. The well known battery of Joss and Kleinow won the college championship in 1899 with Sacred Heart, and that same year Kleinow was named Watertown's team captain; future major league pitcher Claude Elliott was also on that team. After spending the 1902 and 1903 seasons with the Toledo Mud Hens in the American Association, Kleinow made his major league debut on May 3, 1904, with the New York Highlanders. In his eight-year major league career, he also played for the Boston AL team and Philadelphia of the NL, and he was known as a good defensive catcher.
