Bid McPhee
Dossier
John Alexander "Bid" McPhee (November 1, 1859 – January 3, 1943) was an American 19th-century Major League Baseball second baseman. Born in Massena, New York, he broke into professional baseball in 1877 as a catcher with the Davenport Brown Stockings of the Northwestern League. He played three seasons for Davenport, shifting to second base during the 1879 season. After not playing in 1880, he joined an independent team in Akron, Ohio, in 1881. Before the 1882 season, he signed with the Cincinnati Red Stockings of the newly formed American Association.
McPhee made his major league debut on May 2, 1882, at the age of 22. He batted just .228 that season but led the league in several fielding categories, including putouts and fielding percentage, appearing in 78 of the team's 80 games as the Red Stockings won the inaugural American Association pennant. He went on to play 18 seasons in the majors, from 1882 until 1899, all for the Cincinnati Reds franchise. Known more for his fielding than his hitting, McPhee was the last second baseman to play without a glove. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.
