JockBio:Bid McPhee Biography |
 | | Bid McPhee was born on November 1, 1859 in Massena, New York, which lies a few miles from the Canadian border. |
 | | Bid was adept at cutting in front of the bag, catching the ball in his throwing hand, and then whipping a bullet right back to the catcher to nail the man trying to score from third. |
 | | Bid once again batted leadoff, and led the team with 55 steals, 82 walks and 125 runs, which ranked fifth in the N.L. His power numbers were excellent, with 16 doubles, three homers and 22 triples, which tied him for third in the league. |
