[edit] Biographical Information
Emmett Seery played nine years in the majors, split among four leagues. He was above average in each league except the Players League, where he had an off-season.
He was the best hitter on the 1884 Baltimore Monumentals of the short-lived Union Association, as well as the 1889 Indianapolis Hoosiersof the National League]. In 1891 he and King Kelly had pretty similar averages for the 1891 Cincinnati Kelly's Killers, in the American Association, and either one could be chosen the best hitter.
Seery was involved in a fight with Charlie Sweeney in 1886, but all his teammates and at least one newspaper sided with Seery.
