Joe Connors

Joe Connors, born in 1862, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief period in the early days of organized baseball. He played as a position player, making his major league debut on May 3, 1884, and concluding his playing days shortly thereafter on June 15 of the same year.

Over the course of his career, Connors appeared in six games, achieving two hits and finishing with a batting average of .091. While he did not record any home runs or RBIs, his contribution came during a time when the game was evolving rapidly, and every player played a role in shaping the future of baseball.
