John Misse

John Misse was a professional baseball player born in 1885, who played in the Major Leagues during the early 20th century. His career spanned from May 26, 1914, to October 8, 1914, a brief period in which he participated in 99 games as a position player. Misse recorded a total of 60 hits, contributing 22 RBIs to his team's efforts, while maintaining a batting average of .196. Known for his speed on the basepaths, he successfully stole 3 bases during his time in the league, although he did not hit any home runs. Misse's playing career took place in a transitional period for baseball, just before the onset of the deadball era's decline. This era was characterized by lower offensive outputs and a focus on speed and small ball strategies. While Misse's statistical contributions may not have placed him among the game's greats, his involvement in Major League Baseball during this time reflects the broader context of the sport's development and the numerous players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history.
