Eddie was the batterymate for the legendary Hall of Famer, Walter Johnson (the Big Train) for 9 years. Ainsmith
distinguished himself as an excellent defensive catcher of his time. He also was a nifty base stealer when in one
game Eddie stole 2nd, 3rd, and home. But in the rough and tumble world of that baseball era, Eddie's claim to fame
was being appointed the referee in what was called one the the biggest baseball boxing matches of its' time. While
playing for the Tigers, Eddie was called on to referee a hotel room brawl between his teammate, HOF'er Ty
Cobb and NY Giant Buck Herzog who both decided they needed to settle a score that
started in the game they played that day.
