[edit] Biographical Information
The existence of the Players League, as a third league in 1890, gave new opportunities to everyone, including players born in England. Only two English-born players made their debut in major league baseball in the 1880's, but three of them, Dennis Fitzgerald, Pete Hasney, and Al Lawson, all made their debuts in 1890. Fitzgerald and Hasney were the same age, and both played for Philadelphia in the American Association, although at different times of that year.
