Before signing a bonus contract with the Red Sox in 1948,[1] Quinn attended Yale University. He represented the Bulldogs in the first two editions of the College World Series in 1947 and 1948 alongside George H. W. Bush, the future 41st President of the United States.
He spent his second pro season on the roster of the MLB Red Sox, working in eight games between May 29 and August 25. In his best performance, on July 1 against the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park, he allowed only one hit and no runs, with two strikeouts, in three full innings. It was a "mopup" assignment, with the Athletics winning the game, 11–5.[2] Quinn also worked in one game early in 1950, on April 26; sixteen days later he was claimed on waivers by the Washington Senators, who sent him to the minor leagues. Plagued by a sore arm,[1] he worked in only five more games before retiring from the mound.
In the majors, he recorded no decisions and no saves in his nine games; in 24 innings pitched, he allowed 20 hits, ten bases on balls and nine earned runs, striking out four batters. His career earned run average was 3.38.
