Biography

He was born on October 28, 1892 in Chicago. McCabe appeared in three games of the 1918 World Series. As a pinch-runner in Game 4, he scored the tying run in an eighth-inning rally at Fenway Park against Boston pitcher Babe Ruth, but the Cubs lost the game 3-2 on a wild pitch in the bottom of the eighth. He died on September 2, 1966 in Chicago.

McCabe also made one appearance in the 1920 World Series. He pinch-ran with two outs in the ninth inning of Game 6, which Brooklyn was losing 1-0. Duster Mails retired the final batter for a Cleveland Indians victory.

During his career, McCabe batted 199 times and hit just .161, with five extra-base hits.
