Ice Box Chamberlain was born on this date in 1867 in Buffalo. He was a pitcher and outfielder and while he never played for the Mets, his name was Ice Box Chamberlain. "His name was Elton; his friends called him Ed; and baseball writers dubbed him Ice Box, or Icebox, for the ice water that flowed through his veins." In 1889, he was 21 years old and pitched 421.2 innings in 53 games for the St. Louis Browns, winning 32 games.
