Steamer Flanagan

James Paul "Steamer" Flanagan (April 20, 1881 - April 21, 1947) was a Major League Baseball center fielder. He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates just at the end of the 1905 season (September 25-October 7). The 24-year-old rookie, who stood 6'1" and weighed 185 lbs., was a native of Kingston, Pennsylvania. Flanagan played well during his time with the Pirates. In seven games he hit .280 (7-for-25) with one double, one triple, three runs batted in, and seven runs scored. He also had three stolen bases. In the field he handled 19 chances flawlessly for a fielding percentage of 1.000.

Two of his famous teammates on the Pirates were future Hall of Famers Honus Wagner and Fred Clarke.

Flanagan died at the age of 66 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
