Edward Marvin Head (January 25, 1918 – January 31, 1980) was a professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1940 to 1946. Head was notable for a number of reasons, one of them was the physical challenges he overcame to become a major league baseball player. A natural left-handed pitcher, at the age of 15, Head was involved in a vehicle accident that killed his girlfriend and almost resulted in the amputation of his left arm. After hours of surgery, Head's arm was saved but he could no longer use it to pitch, so he switched and became a right handed pitcher.

  • Edward Marvin Head (January 25, 1918 – January 31, 1980) was a professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1940 to 1946. Head was notable for a number of reasons, one of them was the physical challenges he overcame to become a major league baseball player. A natural left-handed pitcher, at the age of 15, Head was involved in a vehicle accident that killed his girlfriend and almost resulted in the amputation of his left arm. After hours of surgery, Head's arm was saved but he could no longer use it to pitch, so he switched and became a right handed pitcher. Head joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1940 and after compiling a record of 1–2, was sent back to the minor leagues for additional development. He returned in 1942 and was promoted to the team's starting rotation where he went 10–6 for the season. In 1943, he was not as effective, his record was 9–10, but he recovered in 1944 starting the season 4–3 with a career low ERA of 2.70 before he entered the Army to fulfill his service obligation. After serving in the Army and not pitching in the majors for most of 1944 and all of 1945, Head no-hit the Boston Braves 5–0 at Ebbets Field on April 23, 1946, in his first start of the season. Several weeks later, Head injured his right arm and did not pitch for the remainder of the season. He failed to make the major league club in spring training of 1947, and never pitched in the majors again, his no-hitter being one of the last games he ever pitched. Head managed the Asheville Tourists minor league baseball club in 1949. Head died on January 31, 1980, at age 62. (en)
  • Edward Marvin "Ed" Head, född den 25 januari 1918 i Selma i Grant Parish i Louisiana, död den 31 januari 1980 i Bastrop i Louisiana, var en amerikansk professionell basebollspelare som spelade fem säsonger i Major League Baseball (MLB) 1940, 1942–1944 och 1946. Head var högerhänt pitcher. Head var i sin ungdom vänsterhänt pitcher, men vid en bussolycka som han var med i vid 17 års ålder skadades hans vänsterarm svårt. Han bestämde sig då för att lära sig att kasta med höger arm i stället, och efter några års idogt tränande hade han blivit tillräckligt bra för att få ett proffskontrakt med Philadelphia Athletics 1939. Där fick han spela i en av de lägre farmarklubbarna innan han året efter köptes av Brooklyn Dodgers. Redan det året debuterade han för Dodgers i MLB och var på 13 matcher (varav fem starter) 1-2 (en vinst och två förluster) med en earned run average (ERA) på 4,12. 1941 spelade Head enbart för en farmarklubb, men 1942 blev han ordinarie i Dodgers och var 10-6 med en ERA på 3,56 på 36 matcher (15 starter). Året efter fick han äran att starta Dodgers första match för säsongen och var totalt 9-10 med en ERA på 3,66 på 47 matcher (18 starter). Mitt under 1944 års säsong blev Head inkallad till USA:s armé. Fram till dess var han 4-3 med en ERA på 2,70 på nio matcher (åtta starter). Han var borta från spel under hela 1945, men i sin första match 1946 pitchade han en no-hitter den 23 april mot Boston Braves. Några veckor senare blev han skadad i armen och han var 1946 på 13 matcher (sju starter) 3-2 med en ERA på 3,21. Året efter blev hans sista som proffs, men han fick bara spela i farmarligorna. Efter spelarkarriären var Head under flera år tränare för olika klubbar i Minor League Baseball. Head bodde efter basebollkarriären i Bastrop i Louisiana, där han avled 1980 vid 62 års ålder. (sv)
