Read More	Son of Martin and Helen (Kelly) Mullin BIOGRAPHY - Plain Dealer, Wabash (IN) - by Pete Jones, 2009 George Mullin was Wabash's hero of the moment a century ago when he enjoyed his greatest season as a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In the spring of 1909, Mullin rolled out 12 straight victories for the Tigers, including a sparkling one-hitter over the Chicago White Sox on opening day. The streak of wins was at that time a record in the American League. Mullin's winning streak extended through June 10 when he beat New York, but five days later he lost to the Philadelphia Athletics. He finished the season with a 29-8 record and an earned run average of 2.22. All of Wabash claimed Mullin as a local boy, even though he was born in Toledo in 1880. He came to Wabash around 1900 and before signing with the Tigers, pitched a couple of seasons with a local semi-pro baseball team which played its home games in the old baseball and football park on the east side of South Carroll Street just north of the river. He lived in Wabash throughout his career, and he is #buried in Falls Cemetery. OBITUARY - Plain Dealer, Wabash (IN) George Joseph Mullin, 63, who came to Wabash 45 years ago to pitch in the old Two-Eye league and later became a top-flight pitcher with the Detroit Tigers in big league ball, died Friday morning in his home 463 North Cass street, after four week's serious illness. Mr. Mullin was born in Toledo, O., July 4, 1880 to Martin and Nellie (Kelly) Mullin. After coming to Wabash to play ball he married Miss Grace Aukerman on Dec. 24, 1900. During his 14 years with the Tigers he established a record which has never been broken, of pitching 34 innings in the 1909 World series. He wound up the 1909 season by winning 29 games and dropping 8 and topped the league leading pitchers with a .784 average. He had won 12 straight games that year, another record which has not been broken. He teamed with such Tiger stars as Donovan, Bush, Crawford, Schaeffer, O'Leary, McIntyre and Ty Cobb. The latter who is writing a series of articles for a news syndicate mentioned Mr. Mullin in his story a few days ago. One of his greatest thrills, according to his own words in a July interview published in the Wabash Plain Dealer, came on his thirty-first birthday when he pitched a no-hit game against the St. Louis Browns. He was a member of St. Bernard's church, the Elks and Maccabees Lodges. Surviving are the widow, one daughter, Mrs. Lemoine Rish, Detroit; two sisters, Mrs. Pat Bruen and Miss Edna Mullin, Toledo. O. Funeral services will be held in St. Bernard's church Monday morning at 9 o'clock with the Rev. Leo A. Hoffmann celebrating mass. Burial will be in Falls cemetery. The body will be taken from the Jones Funeral home to the family residence Saturday morning where friends may call. Occupation at time of death: Custodian Wabash Elks Club
