[edit] Biographical Information
Herbie Moran played exclusively in the outfield during his seven years in the big leagues, spent during the dead-ball era. He was part of the 1914 Miracle Braves, although he spent more than half the season with the 1914 Cincinnati Reds.
Moran was a regular outfielder with the 1912 Brooklyn Dodgers when Casey Stengel came up. Moran in 1912 was the most-used player in both center field and also in right field. Stengel took over center field in 1913 while Moran played right.
His minor league career stretched from 1905-18 and he twice managed in the minors during the 1930's.
