Theodore Blankenship (May 10, 1901 – January 14, 1945) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Chicago White Sox from 1922 to 1930.[1] His key pitch was the fastball.[2]
Ted's best season came in 1925 when he won 17 games and lost only eight, posting a 3.03 earned run average. He was also a fairly good hitting pitcher in his major league career, posting a .196 batting average (93-for-475) with 49 runs, 9 home runs and 55 RBI over a nine-year, 242 game career. He was a year older than his brother Homer Blankenship, who pitched briefly in the major leagues in 1922, 1923, and 1928.[citation needed]
