Excerpt from Mirror, 1957 Few of our many distinguished graduates may lay claim to longer or more colorful careers than that of David Danforth. Father, grandfather, educator, practicing dentist, and twenty one years as a professional base ball player mark Dr. Dan-forth as one of our most unusual and inspiring graduates. The son of a physician, Danforth was born on March 7, 1890 in Granger, Texas. His local. Reputation as a pitcher was enough to make him the object of interest to many universities and colleges. Selecting Baylor, he lived up to expectations during the 1910 and 1911 seasons. Baylor won the 1911 Texas Collegiate Champion ship behind Danforth's inspiring mound work. He won all of his starts that year and finished the season by pitch ing a no-hit, no-run final game of the season.
