He played for several minor league baseball clubs, mostly the Nashville Vols.[1] He played in right field, where at Sulphur Dell there was a hill, known as "The Dump",[2][3][4] earning him the nickname "the Goat".[5] In 1901, the first season of the Southern Association, his batting average was .333.[6] He hit the winning run to win the decisive game for the Southern pennant in 1908.[7][8]
