Pete Sommers

Joseph Andrews Sommers
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 181 lbs.
Born: October 26, 1865 in Cleveland, OH
Died: July 22, 1908 in Cleveland, OH

Baseball-Reference.com lists this fellow as "Andy Sommers," and makes his complete name to be "John Andrew Sommers." Whichever it was, if he had gotten just one more at-bat in the big leagues and had somehow managed to scratch out a hit, he would have retired with a career .200 batting average. As Providence would have it, though, he ended up south of the Mendoza Line, a hundred years before Mendoza. The card pictured is from the Old Judge set; it is most definitely not in my collection.
