Congratulations, Erik Kratz.
Congratulations, Erik Kratz. The first player since 1879 to catch and pitch for two different teams in the same season:

Great record. Thanks for posting Brian.
And now Cole isn't coming back when his stint on the 15 day is over. Not. Good. |

They said 1879 and a quick check of stats from that year shows that no one did it, so I'm not sure who they are talking about unless the year is wrong...maybe they meant 1897 and you know who it is!
I checked, it didn't happen in 1897 either, so you're off the hook

Actually did a little check in my Baseball Encyclopedia (1984 edt. ). There is a close one: Blondie Purcell -- In 1879 pitched for both Syracuse (22) and Cincinnati (2). BUT list only C-1 (plus OF-57). If it was C-2, we might have a winner. The other 1879 pitchers either played only for one team, or never listed as catching. Nothing else to add ............... |

Since it was Topps who said this (at least according to the article) I have asked Topps on twitter who the player in 1879 was. Hopefully they will respond.
