Percy Coleman (baseball)
Pierce Devon "Percy" Coleman (October 10, 1876 – February 16, 1948) was an American professional baseball pitcher who played parts of two Major League seasons.
Coleman was born in Mason, Ohio, the first of three children[citation needed] of Irish-American parents, William P. Coleman, a farmer,[citation needed] and Florence A. (McVay) Coleman on Oct. 15, 1876.[citation needed] He attended Mason High School and graduated in 1894.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army July 18, 1898[citation needed] as a private with the 6th Infantry Company G during the Spanish–American War. He was honorably discharged from Fort Sam Houston, Texas in January 1899.[citation needed]
Coleman pitched in the National League in 13 games in 1897 for the St. Louis Browns at age 20, and one game in 1898 for the Cincinnati Reds. He made his MLB debut on July 2, 1897, when he came on in relief in the sixth inning of a 13-1 Browns loss on the road vs. the Cleveland Spiders, allowing 4 runs in 4 innings.
His final game was on October 1, 1898; the Cincinnati Enquirer story reported "Coleman pitched fairly good ball" with 6 innings giving up just one run before tiring in the seventh in a 7-3 complete-game loss to St. Louis.
His overall MLB record was 1–3 with a 6.69 earned run average. In 37 official plate appearances, he had seven hits for a .226 batting average.
After his big-league career ended, he compiled a record of 22–18 in three seasons (1898–1900) in the minor leagues in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Savannah, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, San Antonio, Texas and Portsmouth, Virginia.
By far his best season was 1899 at age 22 for the San Antonio Bronchos in the Class C Texas League as he led the team in wins with a 13–8 record, starting 21 games and completing 20 with 183 innings pitched. He also played 45 games in the outfield and 5 at first base, batting .338 with 100 hits in 296 plate appearances. On July 10, 1899, Coleman "of the defunct San Antonio ball team accepted an offer from the Buffalo team of the Western league at $150 per month."
