Clarence Lester "Dude" Lytle was a talented American baseball pitcher. He was born on December 22, 1879. Dude Lytle played baseball in the early 1900s. This was before the official Negro Leagues were formed. He played from 1901 to 1911. He was a part of several different teams. Most of his career was spent with the Chicago Union Giants.
Dude Lytle's Baseball Career
Dude Lytle was known for his pitching skills. He played for the Chicago Union Giants for many years. This team was one of the important teams of that time. They played against other strong teams. Lytle helped his team win many games.
Playing for the St. Paul Colored Gophers
In 1907, Dude Lytle joined a new team. This team was called the St. Paul Colored Gophers. He played alongside another great pitcher, Johnny Davis. A newspaper from St. Paul wrote about them that year. It mentioned that both Lytle and Davis had pitched no-hitter games. A no-hitter is when a pitcher plays a whole game without letting the other team get any hits. This is a very rare and impressive achievement in baseball.
Dude Lytle played his last known season in 1911. He was still with the St. Paul Colored Gophers then. He passed away in Chicago, Illinois, on March 4, 1937. He was 57 years old.
