- Major League Baseball Player. He played Major League baseball as an infielder for six seasons (1913 to 1918) with the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, and the New York Giants. After a brief call up in 1913, he established himself as the Reds' starting third baseman as a rookie in 1914. However, the Reds dealt him in the off-season to the Phillies for long time Phillie catcher/manager Red Dooin. Switched to second base by Philadelphia, he joined with future Hall of Famer shortstop Dave Bancroft to anchor the Phillies middle infield during a 1915 season that culminated in team winning it's first National League Pennant, and first World Series appearance. In that World Series, which saw the Tris Speaker-led Boston Red Sox defeat the Phillies 4 Games to 1, Bert Niehoff managed one hit and one run. He would go on to be the Phillies starting second baseman for the next two years, and would lead the National League in doubles with 42 in 1916. Traded in 1918 to the Cardinals for pitcher Mule Watson, he would play only 22 games before being waived. Picked up by the Giants, he playing days would last only 7 more games before he was released and out of the Major Leagues. His career totals were 581 Games Played, 489 Hits, 210 Runs, 12 Home Runs, 131 Runs Batted In, and a career .240 Batting Average.
