[edit] Major League career

Reflective of his very short major league career, Gould's statistics did not amount to much, but he did pitch a complete game shutout on August 2, 1916 against the Philadelphia Athletics.^[2]

[edit] Minor League career

Al enjoyed a long and successful career in the minors, mainly playing in the Pacific Coast League (PCL). His 14 seasons in the PCL produced a win-loss record of 127-134, an earned run average of 4.43, and highlighted by leading the league in winning percentage in 1927. A very good fielder in both the minors and the majors, he twice led the PCL at his position in fielding percentage. Another highlight of his PCL career happened in 1919, when he once pitched two complete game victories in one doubleheader.^[3]

[edit] Post-career

Al died on August 8, 1982, at the age of 89 in San Jose, California, and was cremated and interred at Los Gatos Memorial Park in San Jose.^[1]
