From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael J. Brannock (born October 25, 1851 in Douglas, Massachusetts) was a third baseman in the National Association for the Chicago White Stockings (predecessors of the Chicago Cubs) in 1871 and 1875.

Brannock debuted with the Cubs on October 21, 1871 at age 19. He was one of only eight teenagers to appear in a National Association game that season. Brannock played three games before the season was out. He managed just one hit in 14 at-bats, scoring just two runs. Brannock didn't play in the league again until 1875, when he went 1 for 9 with two runs scored and two stolen bases. His final game was August 25, 1875. For his career, Brannock had just two hits in 23 at-bats for a batting average of .087. Brannock also had 8 errors in just 16 chances in the field for a rather low fielding average of .500.
