John Flynn

John Anthony Flynn (September 7, 1883 – March 23, 1935) was born in Providence, Rhode Island. He put together 3 seasons in the majors, his service running from 1910 through 1912, and the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League stand as the club he is most identified with. His full professional career, counting minor-league campaigns, ran 16 years from 1906 to 1921. He was listed at 175 pounds, and he hit and threw right-handed. For collectors, his vintage cardboard footprint is anchored by an appearance in the E125 American Caramel Die Cuts set, the survey most often consulted when his image is the target. That single-issue presence narrows the chase but also keeps demand concentrated on a known card. He was 51 years of age at the time of his death. It took him 4 years of professional ball before he reached the majors. He continued in the professional game for 9 more seasons after his last big-league appearance. He was roughly 27 years old at the time of his major-league debut. He died in Providence, Rhode Island. He was laid to rest at St. Francis Cemetery in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
