John James McCloskey (April 4, 1862 – November 17, 1940) was a professional baseball player and manager. As a player, he appeared in minor league games between 1887 and 1905.[1] He also served as a minor league manager between 1888 and 1932.[1] He is best remembered for managing in the major leagues, with the Louisville Colonels during 1895–1896 and St. Louis Cardinals during 1906–1908,[2] while compiling one of the worst managerial records (in terms of winning percentage) in major league history.
