Shad Barry
Résumé
John Charles "Shad" Barry (October 27, 1878 – November 27, 1936), known also as "Jack" Barry, was an American professional baseball player who spent ten seasons, from 1899 to 1909, in Major League Baseball. Barry was a utility player, having played every position with the exception of catcher and pitcher during his career.
Barry was born in Newburgh, New York. Barry attended Niagara University.
Barry began his major league career with the Washington Senators in 1899. On February 11, 1900, Washington sold him (along with Bill Dineen and Buck Freeman) to the Boston Beaneaters for $7500. On a Boston team that included several .300 hitters, Barry was relegated to a utility player role; he played in 81 games in 1900, leading the league in pinch-hitting appearances.
After two seasons, Boston released Barry on May 11, 1901, and he was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies five days later. He remained with Philadelphia until he was traded to the Chicago Cubs for Frank Corridon on July 20, 1904. Chicago later sold him to the Cincinnati Reds on January 20, 1905. Barry had been hitting .212 in 27 games for Chicago, but he hit .324 in 125 games for Cincinnati that year. On July 25, 1906, Barry was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Homer Smoot. He had hit .287 for Cincinnati in 73 games, but he hit only .249 in 62 games with the Cardinals. The Cardinals sold Barry to the New York Giants on August 3, 1908.
In 1909, the Giants sold Barry to the minor league Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association. He played for Milwaukee until 1910 when he was granted a release from his contract. He contacted Walt McCredie, manager of the Portland Beavers in the Pacific Coast League (PCL), and secured a contract for the 1911 season. Barry started wearing eye glasses during the 1911 season, telling The Oregonian, "Certainly I think spectacles will help a batsman [...] This statement may sound far-fetched now, but remember that the catching mitt, the mask, the breast and shin protectors are only recent products.
