About Jim McCormick (pitcher)

  • James McCormick (3 November 1856 – 10 March 1918) was a Scottish right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball.
  • A native of Glasgow (he was actually born outside the Glasgow boundary, in Thornliebank, Renfrewshire), he was the first ballplayer born in Scotland to appear in a major league game. McCormick was great friends with Mike "King" Kelly and was also very well liked by Cap Anson, two of the great personalities of early baseball.
  • Anson was McCormick's captain-manager in 1885 and 1886, when Chicago won its last 19th-century pennants.
