Frank WakefieldThe 1911 Spalding Record lists this:
J. McCarthy, Toledo: 92 games, 274 AB, 28 runs, 62 H, 10 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR
8 stolen bases, .226 average.
It shows him in 36 games as an outfielder with a .909 fielding average. which is among the bottom fourth.
A few years ago I got the Standard Catalog to correct the first name on the Lelivelt card.
I have a 1937 Record Book from The Sporting News, with McCarthy on the cover. His nose looks wider and bigger than the guy on the Colgans. But I see no other McCarthy's with Toledo in 1911, and that listing had "J" not "A" in hitting line. I think you guys are right!
Good call, guys. Well done!!! That is what this board is about!
