[edit] Biographical Information
Joe McDermott played two games in the outfield for the 1871 Fort Wayne Kekiongas. He collected two singles and a walk in nine plate appearances.
He took to the mound for the 1872 Brooklyn Eckfords and posted a dreadful 0-7 record on a team that went 3-26. Besides losing more than one fourth of his team's games with a 8.14 earned run average, McDermott also failed to field his position very well committing five errors in just 14 chances. The only positives from his 1872 efforts were his seven complete games and his improved work at the plate where he posted a .281 batting average. Three of his nine hits were doubles.
