Tragic End for Reds Pitcher Marvin Goodwin After Plane Crash in 1925

Two weeks after pitching his final game for the Reds, Army Reserve First Lieutenant pilot Marvin Goodwin’s plane goes into a tailspin and crashes near Houston’s Ellington Field. The 34 year-old right-hander, who appeared in four games for Cincinnati, three as a starter, and posted an 0-2 record, which included two complete games, will die in three days as the result of being severely injured, with two broken legs, a fractured skull, along with critical internal injuries.
