Biography
Goodman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He attended University of Pennsylvania between 1894 and 1896, where he captained the cricket team.[3] During 1894, he went on a tour of Canada with Philadelphia,[4] and played his first first-class matches for GS Patterson's XI.[5]
In 1895, he first played for the United States national cricket team, playing against Canada in Toronto.[4] He played a first-class match for Pennsylvania University Past and Present against F Mitchell's XI the same month. He played a second match for the USA against Canada in 1897, but was then absent from major cricket until 1903, when he played his final first-class match for Philadelphia against the touring Kent team from England.[5]
In July 1904, he played his final international for the USA against Canada in Philadelphia,[4] and he died less than a year later. According to his obituary his death was the result of "spinal meningitis following pleuro-pneumonia and a bad strain caused by a fall in ju-jitsu."[3]
