Irvin Hach 1897 - MISSING PLAYER
Irvin "Major" Hach is shown in this photo from the August 14, 1936 issue of the Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal. In the photo, he was posed with Honus Wagner, who was coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates at the time. He was traded for Wagner in 1897 by the Louisville Colonels. The photo was published as an obituary. Hach had been employed as part of a weed-clearing crew. He died in an odd accident when riding a street-cleaning truck. He stood up to shift his position and fell off the truck, hitting his head on the pavement.
