Bob Daughters

Robert Francis Daughters (August 5, 1914 - August 22, 1988) was a Major League Baseball player. Listed at 6' 2", 185 lb., Daughters batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

A Holy Cross College alumni, Daughters was a baseball player whose major league career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different than that of Red Bluhm, Eddie Gaedel, Moonlight Graham, or Jay Pike. His lone moment in the majors came on April 24, 1937 when he appeared in one single game as a pinch runner for the Boston Red Sox, scoring a run, but did not have fielding chances.

Daughters also served as President of the Holy Cross Varsity Club between 1961 and 1962. He died in Southbury, Connecticut, just 17 days later of his 74th birthday.
