[edit] Biographical Information
Although he played in only 63 games at third base in his only big league season, Charlie Atherton committed 26 errors. He wasn't even the worst fielding third baseman on the team however - in 62 games at third base, for example, Win Mercer committed 30 errors. Perhaps the epitome of poor fielding at third base however was Jack O'Brien, who in just four games at third base committed six errors for a .714 fielding percentage.
