Ossee Schrecongost 1897

Of the many problems the 1899 Cleveland Spiders had on the baseball diamond, the position of Catcher wasn't one of them. Schrecongost shared starting duties with Joe Sugden and hit .313 through 43 games. It became apparent that he was too good for such a terrible team so he was shipped off to St. Louis to conclude the season.

He is pictured here in spring training for Cleveland in 1899.
