james gilbert stump -lrb- born february 10 , 1932 -rrb- is an american former professional baseball player who appeared in 11 major league baseball games as a relief pitcher for the 1957 and 1959 detroit tigers .
he threw and batted right-handed , stood tall and weighed .
stump signed with the tigers in 1951 and his first two minor league seasons -- sandwiched around a two-year military stint during the korean war -- were noteworthy , as he won 30 of 43 decisions -lrb- .698 -rrb- .
after winning 14 games for the birmingham barons of the double-a southern association , stump made his major league debut for the tigers against the boston red sox at briggs stadium , working one inning in relief and giving up a hit , a run and two bases on balls , including one to ted williams , in a 6 -- 1 tiger defeat .
but , overall , stump 's first trial with detroit was successful ; he appeared in five more games played , won his only decision , and surrendered a total of only three earned runs in 13 1/3 innings , for a sparkling 2.08 earned run average .
the next two seasons , stump put up identical 8 -- 11 records with the triple-a charleston senators , before receiving his second and final audition with the tigers in , pitching in 11 1/3 innings and posting another strong era -lrb- 2.38 -rrb- .
he played two more seasons of minor league ball -- ironically , posting a third straight 8 -- 11 season in the american association in 1960 -- and retired after the 1961 campaign .
