Noodles Hahn only played for eight years, but won 20 games four times and led the league in strikeouts thrice. He pitched the first 20th century no-hitter for the Reds in 1900. After his career ended, Hahn lived in Cincinnati for much of the rest of his life, and frequently pitched batting practice for the Reds into his late 60s. Hahn is a 1963 Reds Hall of Fame inductee.
