Patsy Dougherty
Patrick Henry "Patsy" Dougherty was a Major League Baseball outfielder from 1902 to 1911. He played for the Boston Americans, the New York Highlanders, and the Chicago White Sox.
On July 29, 1903, Dougherty became the second Red Sox player to hit for the cycle. In Game 2 of the 1903 World Series, the first modern World Series, Dougherty became the first player to accomplish several feats; he became the first Boston player to hit a World Series home run, the first player to hit two home runs in a single World Series game, and the first player to hit a leadoff inside-the-park home run in a World Series game.
In a 10-year major league career, covering 1233 games, Dougherty compiled a.284 batting average with 678 runs, 17 home runs, 413 RBI and 261 stolen bases. In his two postseason appearances, in the 1903 and '06 World Series, he batted.185 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI.
Dougherty died in Bolivar, New York, at the age of 63 and was buried at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Bolivar.
