He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins over six seasons from 1917 to 1927.[1] He also played for the United States national baseball team, composed of active servicemen, at the 1919 Inter-Allied Games held in Paris in the aftermath of the First World War.[2][3]
