Edwin Marvin Stroud, born October 31, 1939, in Lapine, Alabama, played six major league seasons as an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators between 1966 and 1971. A left-handed hitter who threw right, Stroud signed with the White Sox as an undrafted free agent in 1963 and reached the majors in September 1966 after stealing 57 bases for the Indianapolis Indians of the Pacific Coast League. A prolific base stealer in the minors, he was nicknamed "The Streak" for his speed and "The Creeper" for his unusual walk. His best season came in 1970 with Washington, when he batted .266 with 29 stolen bases and 69 runs. On July 4, 1968, he led the Senators to a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees with two doubles and two triples. Over 529 career games he hit .237 with 14 home runs. He drove in 100 runs and stole 72 bases. Stroud lived in Warren, Ohio, for about 70 years and served as the city's Equal Opportunity Coordinator until retiring in 1998; he died in Cleveland in 2012.
