Although several dozen pitchers retired with a career winning percentage of 1.000, and numerous batters and fielders retired with career batting and fielding averages of 1.000 (all of whom had very short MLB careers), Kull remains the only MLB player to ever finish his career with a 1.000 mark in all three statistical categories.
Kull was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and died in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania.
