Paul Revere Radford (October 14, 1861 – February 21, 1945) was an American Major League Baseball player in the late 19th century.

His best performance was with the 1887 New York Metropolitans, when he set the major league record with 106 walks and produced an Offensive WAR rating of 3.4 that ranked sixth in the American Association.

In 1865, the Radford family relocated to the town of Hyde Park, where his father was employed as superintendent of construction at the American Tool and Machine Company.

Radford grew up in suburban Hyde Park, a streetcar suburb 10 miles southwest of Boston, amid middle-class prosperity in a house on Fairmount Avenue, as his father advanced to general manager at American Tool.

Coming from a religious family, Radford believed in the Sabbath and due to his faith, did not do anything on Sundays, save for keeping the day holy.

The Grays defeated the New York Metropolitans of the rival American Association, thus claiming a victory in an early version of the World Series.

[2] Since the National League did not play on Sundays, Radford's strict observation of the Sabbath did not hamper his baseball career.

He had a homecoming of sorts, playing one season for the Boston Reds of the American Association before joining the Washington Senators of the National league in 1892.

Even though Radford was 43 years old, Cubs manager Frank Selee needed an extra man on the bench because starting shortstop Joe Tinker was injured.

In 1922, at the age of 60, Radford played in a charity National League Old-Timers game that was used to raise money for Boston Children's Hospital.

In January 1930 the Newspaper Enterprise Association produced a syndicated article about Radford and his lucky horseshoe, since the Boston Red Sox were interested in its whereabouts.
