Finners Quinlan

Finners Quinlan, born in 1887, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during the early 20th century. His career spanned from 1913 to September 6, 1915, a time when the game was still evolving in the post-deadball era. Over the course of his brief career, Quinlan participated in 55 games, where he recorded 30 hits. Despite facing challenges at the plate, as evidenced by his batting average of .183, he contributed to his teams with eight RBIs and displayed his speed on the base paths with three stolen bases. Quinlan's playing style reflected the characteristics of the time, as players were often multi-dimensional, balancing offensive and defensive skills. While he did not hit any home runs, his ability to get on base and create opportunities for scoring highlighted his role as a utility player. Although his career was relatively short, Quinlan remains a part of baseball history, embodying the spirit of early 20th-century players who laid the groundwork for future generations in the sport.
