:''For the slavery abolitionist, see John Clarkson''
'John Gibson Clarkson' (July 1, 1861 - February 4, 1909) was a 19th century Major League Baseball pitcher. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Playing for the Worcester Worcesters, Chicago White Stockings, Boston Beaneaters, and Cleveland Spiders, Clarkson compiled a career 328-178 record, placing him twelfth on the list of all-time wins. Clarkson pitched over 600 innings in a season twice and won a career-high 53 games in 1885. In MLB history, only Charles Radbourn has won more games in a single season (59 in 1884).
On June 4, 1889, Clarkson became the first pitcher in Major League history to strike out three batters on nine pitches, in the third inning of a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Quakers.
Clarkson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1963.
