[edit] Biographical Information

Vincent Maney played one game for the 1912 Tigers, whose regular shortstop was Donie Bush. He had previously played many years of minor league ball.

Maney was one of the players that manager Hughie Jennings found to play for a day when the Tigers went on strike due to the heckler incident that got Ty Cobb in trouble. Maney was working in an iron works and playing semi-pro ball at the time.

Maney did pretty well, but then this was a guy who had hit over .300 several times in the minors including in 1903 when he had the highest batting average on the San Francisco Seals.
