Happy Fourth of July from foggy Chicago… or possibly London. I feel like this is gonna come in handy… Happy update!!! First time in 15 years since I’ve been at Wrigley Field for a game, and… George Meakim pitched sporadically in pro ball from 1890 to 1895. He appeared in 39 games over 4 seasons with 4 teams, and he had a 15-13 record and a 4.03 ERA. Meakim played throughout the country for a number of teams and won 22 games for Rochester in 1892. While at Mount Olivet, I visited 2 ballplayers before the rain got too much. John Hatfield was an outfielder in New York City, and he joined the Unions during that team’s run in the National Association. He was known for a cannon of a throwing arm, and he batted .280 in 206 pro games. The weather last weekend was a little rainy for the formal dedication of Frank “Slivers” Oakley, so attendance was limited to a couple hearty souls. But we can officially bring the 19th Century Grave Marker Project’s latest case to a close, which makes me happy. The Atlanta Braves just posted that Bob Horner has passed away. Horner, a slugger for the early 1980s Braves teams, was the first player I can remember hitting 4 home runs in a game. He was also one of the first players to head to Japan while still in the prime of his career. (Photo by the Braves)
