[edit] Biographical Information

Eddie Booth, who played five years in the National Association and the new National League, is a mystery man. Much is not known about him.

His birthdate is generally listed as unknown, although one poster at baseballfever.com puts him on lists of the greatest teenage players ever. Greatest Teenage Players

Booth did his best hitting with the 1872 Middletown Mansfields. The team had been around since 1866, so perhaps Booth was with them previously in their amateur days. He had close to the best slugging percentage on the 1872 Brooklyn Atlantics, and had the best slugging percentage on the 1873 Elizabeth Resolutes. Coming back to Brooklyn, he had the best slugging percentage on the 1874 Brooklyn Atlantics.

Every single team he played for was under .500.
