James Laurie \"Deacon\" White (December 7, 1847 - July 7, 1939) was an United States professional baseball player in the National Association of Professional Baseball Players throughout its 5-year existence, and later for 15 seasons in the National League and Players League of Major League Baseball. His brother Will White was a major league pitcher, and briefly his teammate. Born in Caton, New York, Deacon White's pro career began in 1868 in sports, at a time when no team was entirely composed of professional players. He was a catcher and third baseman, playing through 1890 in sports, whose long career allowed him to play with many of the legendary characters of 19th century professional baseball. White played on the great National Association Boston Red Stockings teams of the early 1870s. He also played with Cap Anson and Al Spalding in Chicago Cubs, King Kelly in Cincinnati Reds, Dan Brouthers in Buffalo Bisons, Ned Hanlon and Sam Thompson in Detroit Wolverines, as well as Jake Beckley and Pud Galvin in Pittsburgh Alleghenys. White led his respective league in batting average twice, and run batted in three times. He started out early enough to have played against the undefeated Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 in sports, baseball's first all-professional team. He was considered the best barehanded catcher of his time, as well as one of best third baseman. To top it all off, in the rough-and-tumble 19th century baseball era, Deacon really was a nonsmoking, Bible-toting, church-going deacon. He died in Aurora, Illinois at the age of 91. ==External links== * * [http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/W/White_Deacon.stm BaseballLibrary.com] - Biography and information 1847 births 1939 deaths Major league catchers Major league third basemen 19th century baseball players Chicago White Stockings players Buffalo Bisons players Detroit Wolverines players
