[edit] Biographical Information
Even though John Mohardt batted 1.000, he couldn't find a permanent place in a Detroit Tigers outfield that consisted of Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach, and Harry Heilmann.
One reference says that Mohardt was a "possible All-American football player" at Notre Dame, and that he also played in the famous game between Taylorville and Carlinville, IL, that involved many ringers brought in from the University of Illinois and the University of Notre Dame in 1921.
He played in the NFL in 1925. The Pro Football Hall of Fame honored a Dr. John Mohardt as a NFL player who served in World War II.
