[A Ball Player’s Career by Adrian C. Anson]@TWC D-Link bookA Ball Player’s Career CHAPTER X 8/9
A good man was Sutton, and one that would compare very favorably with the best in his line at the present day. M.H.McGeary was a Pennsylvanian by birth, though not a Dutchman, as his name goes to prove.
He was not only an effective and active shortstop but a good change catcher as well, being noted for his handling of sharp fly tips while in the latter position.
He was in Philadelphia when last heard from, and doing fairly well. Albert W.Gedney was the postoffice clerk of the New York State Senate at the time of our trip, and was one of the best of left fielders, being an excellent judge of high balls and a sure catch, especially in taking balls on the run.
He is now a prosperous mill owner near New York City and does not have to worry as to where the next meal is coming from. James McMullen, who played the center field, was an active and effective man in that position.
He was also a fairly good left-handed pitcher, and a rattling good batsman, who excelled in fair-foul hitting.
