Jack Himes

Jack Himes was a professional baseball player born in 1878, who played in the Major Leagues from 1905 to 1906. Himes primarily served as a position player during his brief but notable career, which spanned parts of two seasons. Over the course of 52 games, he recorded 48 hits and finished with a batting average of .245. While he did not hit any home runs, he contributed 14 RBIs and successfully stole 4 bases. Himes played during a transitional period in baseball history, just before the sport began to undergo significant changes leading into the deadball era. His playing style was characterized by a focus on contact hitting and speed on the bases, which was typical of players in that era. Although his tenure in the major leagues was relatively short, Himes remains a part of the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball, reflecting the evolution of the game during a time when players were still learning to harness their skills in a rapidly changing sport.
