Biography

Stuart was born on August 28, 1873 in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. It is unknown whether he threw and batted left or right-handed, but it is known that he was 5'11" and 170 pounds and that he attended Penn State University. Stuart died on October 14, 1928 in Fort Worth, Texas. His body was laid to rest in Branch Cemetery in State College, Pennsylvania.

Baseball career

On August 15, 1895 with the Pirates at the age of 21, Stuart made his big league debut. In his 19 games in 1895, he hit .247 with 0 home runs and 10 RBI. He would have to wait a few years before he got to see big league action again-the next time he played Major League baseball was in 1899 with the Giants. He played only one game that season, collecting zero hits in 3 at-bats.

As a fielder, Stuart was bad even in the standards of the that time period. He posted a meager .912 fielding percentage in his career.
