}}Theodore P. ("Ted" or "Breit") Breitenstein (June 1, 1869 – May 3, 1935) was an American Major League Baseball player from St. Louis, Missouri who pitched from {{baseball year|1891}} to {{baseball year|1901}} for the St. Louis Browns/Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds.[1] He is most known today for throwing a no-hitter in his first Major League start[2] along with the famed "Pretzel Battery" with fellow German-American battery mate Heinie Peitz[3]

Career

During his first season in the Majors, he was able to pitch occasionally in relief, but on the final day of the 1891 season, October 4, Breitenstein was allowed to start and he pitched a no-hitter against the Louisville Colonels, an 8–0 victory. He faced the minimum number of batters of 27, allowed just one base on balls, which was erased by a double play or by a pickoff play.[2] It was also the last no-hitter thrown in the American Association, as the league folded following the season.[2]

He became part of the pitching rotation in {{baseball year|1892}}, but had a lackluster season with a 9–19 win–loss record and a 4.69 earned run average. He turned his pitching around after that, and in {{baseball year|1893}}, Breitenstein's 3.18 ERA was tops in the National League.[1] In {{baseball year|1894}}, he won 27 games while leading the league in games started, complete games and innings pitched, although he led the league in runs allowed, and had a 4.79 ERA. In the following season, his workload stayed the same, leading the league in games started and complete games once again, but his stats took a slide downward, leading the league in runs allowed, base on balls, and losses.[1] His 30 losses in {{baseball year|1895}} stand as the 3rd on the all-time list for losses in a season by a pitcher.[2]

After a similar season in {{baseball year|1896}}, he was sold to the Cincinnati Reds for a reported $10,000, though it could have been as low as $4,000. This move gave Breitenstein a new start and he took advantage of it, winning more than 20 games in each of his first two season with the Reds. He lowered his ERA to 3.62 in {{baseball year|1897}} and 3.42 in {{baseball year|1898}} respectively.[1] On April 22, 1898, he pitched his second no-hitter, this time against the Pittsburgh Pirates, an 11–0 victory. What made this no-hitter notable is the fact that another no-hitter was pitched on the same day. Jay Hughes of the Baltimore Orioles threw one against the Boston Beaneaters. This was the first occurrence of two no-hitters had been thrown on the same day in the Major Leagues.[2]

His next two seasons in Cincinnati were respectable, but his skills had shown that they were declining, not able to pitch with the same durability of seasons past, so through an unknown transaction, he returned to his old team in St. Louis, now known as the Cardinals.[1]

Post Major League career

His career ended after only a few games in {{baseball year|1901}} and he went on to a lengthy minor league baseball career, most notably with the New Orleans Pelicans of the Southern Association. He played eight seasons for the Pelicans, ten years in all with the Association.[4] He was then an umpire in the Association. During World War I, Breitenstein was named as a director of an athletic camp especially organized for Army and Navy soldiers.[5] He died in St. Louis, Missouri at the age of 65, and is interred in Saint Peter's Cemetery in Normandy, Missouri.[1]
