[edit] Biography

James Patrick Archer (May 13, 1883 - March 29, 1958) was a Major League baseball catcher. He was born in Dublin, Ireland.

As a catcher, he could remain squatting and still throw out runners attempting to steal second base due to his unique arm strength acquired from the healing of hot tar burn that shortened his muscles.[1]

Archer died in Milwaukee, WI at the age of 74. He was laid to rest at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Boone, IA.[2]

Most people believe that Jimmy Archer's best season was 1912, when he hit for a .283 average and knocked in 58 runs.
