Jack O'Connor (catcher)

John Joseph O'Connor (June 2 1869 - November 14 1937), also known as "Peach Pie", was a utilityman in Major League Baseball in the American Association, the National League, and the American League, primarily used as an outfielder. He began his career as a left fielder and catcher for the Cincinnati Red Stockings, and he soon moved his way around the infield. He also played for the Columbus Solons from 1889 to 1891, and in 1892, he joined the Cleveland Spiders, where he would stay until 1898, when the owners of the St. Louis Browns were buying their players from the Spiders, who ceased to exist in 1899. O'Connor moved west to play with the Perfectos until 10 games into the 1900 season, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He played one season with the New York Highlanders before finishing his career back in St. Louis with the Browns. In 1910, he was the player-manager of the Browns, but in his only managerial job, he finished a dismal 47-107.

O'Connor died in St. Louis at age 68 in 1937.
