Fred Corey
Frederick Harrison Corey (1855 – November 27, 1912) was an American pitcher and third baseman in Major League Baseball in 1878 and from 1880 through 1885, encompassing seven seasons. He played for the Providence Grays, Worcester Ruby Legs, and Philadelphia Athletics. Corey was born in Coventry, Rhode Island, and died in Providence, Rhode Island, and is interred at the North Burial Ground.[1] Corey twice cost himself a potential home run by failing to touch third base: first, on 9/23/1880 vs. Boston, then again, on 9/17/1881 vs. Cleveland. "These would have been the first two homers in his career, which ended up with a total of seven."[2]
