Howard Carleton Blaisdell (June 18, 1862 – August 20, 1886) was a starting pitcher for the Kansas City Cowboys of the Union Association during the 1884 season.[1]
Blaisdell pitched for the Fort Wayne Hoosiers of the Northwestern League (1883) and Lynn of the Massachusetts State Association (1884) before joining the Cowboys. He posted a 0–3 record with an 8.65 ERA in 26 innings of work for Kansas City, who finished 11th with a 16–63 mark. Though he was not successful as a pitcher, Blaisdell hit .313 (5-for-16) with a double and one run, a bright spot for a team which hit for a .199 average.[2]
In 1885, Blaisdell pitched for the Haverhill club of the New England League. A year later he died in Malden, Massachusetts, at the age of 24.[3]
