Vivan Alexander Lindaman (October 28, 1877 â February 13, 1927) was an American professional baseball player who played pitcher in the Major Leagues from 1906 to 1909.
Lindaman went 24âÂÂ7 for the Eastern League's Jersey City Skeeters in 1905, and he made his major league debut the following season. In his first start with the Boston Beaneaters, he shut out Brooklyn 1âÂÂ0. Despite throwing 32 complete games (third in the league) as a rookie, he finished 12âÂÂ23; his team was shut out in eight of his losses.
Lindaman kept in shape by walking 17 miles a day as a mail carrier.
