[edit] Biography

Cy Seymour (James Bentley Seymour) was born on December 9, 1872 in Albany, New York. He made his Major League debut on April 22, 1896 for the New York Giants. In 1897, his rookie year, he hit .241 with 2 home runs and 14 RBI. Seymour played for the New York Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Braves over the course of his 16 year career.

Most people believe that Cy Seymour's best season was 1905, when he hit for a .377 average and knocked in 121 runs.

Primarily a center fielder, Seymour was a pitcher for the first five years of his career, ending with a 61-56 record and a 3.76 ERA in 140 appearances (123 as a starter).

Seymour enjoyed his best season in 1905, when he led the National League in batting average (.377), hits (219) RBI (121), doubles (40), triples (21) and slugging percentage (.559). He would have nabbed the Triple Crown for the year, but he finished second in home runs with 8, behind Fred Odwell's 9. It was one of Odwell's only two full seasons.

Seymour also set a record which has been tied but never beaten, after hitting four sacrifice flies in one game (July 25, 1902).

In a 16-year career, Seymour hit 52 home runs with 799 RBI and a .303 average (1723-for-5682). He also collected 222 stolen bases.
