[edit] Biographical Information

Monte Cross played fifteen years as a shortstop, split between the 19th and 20th Centuries. His batting averages, although low, are to some extent due to playing in the dead-ball era. He added to his value with an ability to draw walks and to steal bases.

The first home run of the 20th century was hit on April 19, 1900, by Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Monte Cross - a relatively weak-hitting shortstop. He smashed a three-run homer, on the way to a 19-17 victory over the Boston Beaneaters.
