Ed Wells, a left-handed pitcher, played in Major League Baseball during the early 20th century. Born on June 7, 1900, in Ashland, Ohio, Wells began his professional career with the Detroit Tigers. He debuted in the major leagues on April 17, 1923. During his time with the Tigers, Wells developed his skills on the mound, although his initial seasons were marked by challenges as he adjusted to the competitive environment of the majors.

In 1927, Wells was traded to the New York Yankees, a team that was building a reputation as one of the most dominant in baseball history. His tenure with the Yankees provided him the opportunity to play alongside legendary figures such as Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Wells contributed to the Yankees' pitching staff, and his time with the team included the 1929 and 1930 seasons, where he posted respectable earned run averages and helped the Yankees maintain their competitive edge in the American League.

Wells' career took another turn when he joined the St. Louis Browns in 1931. With the Browns, he continued to demonstrate his abilities as a pitcher, although the team struggled to achieve the same level of success as the Yankees. Despite the challenges faced by the Browns, Wells remained a reliable presence on the mound, providing stability and experience to the pitching rotation.

In 1933, Wells moved to the National League, signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His stint with the Dodgers was brief, but it added another chapter to his diverse career in the major leagues. Throughout his time in baseball, Wells was known for his left-handed pitching, which was a valuable asset to the teams he played for.

Ed Wells concluded his major league career with the Chicago White Sox in 1934. Over the course of his career, he accumulated a win-loss record of 68-69, with an earned run average of 4.65 and 411 strikeouts. His career spanned over a decade, during which he played for several teams and experienced the evolving landscape of professional baseball.

After retiring from baseball, Wells lived a life away from the public eye.
