Claude Elliott (baseball)

Claude Judson "Chaucer" Elliott (November 17, 1876 – June 22, 1923) was a professional baseball player.

He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of two seasons (1904–1905) with the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants.

For his career, he compiled a 3–3 record in 22 appearances, with a 3.33 earned run average and 47 strikeouts.

The movie included a depiction of Moonlight Graham, who only played one inning in Major League baseball and never got an at-bat.

It was Elliot who flied out ending the top of the ninth inning with Graham on deck.
