Career
Fogarty was born in San Francisco, California, in 1864. In 1883, he started his professional baseball career in the minor leagues.[1]
Fogarty was signed by the National League's Philadelphia Phillies based on a recommendation by Jerry Denny to Phillies manager Harry Wright.[2] Fogarty played for the Phillies from 1884 to 1889.[3]
In 1890, Fogarty played for the Players' League's Philadelphia Athletics, and he was also the team's manager for 16 games that season.[1]
Fogarty was an average hitter, with batting averages between .212 and .293 during all seven of his major league seasons. He finished his career with a .246 batting average, 20 home runs, 320 runs batted in, and a 98 OPS+.[3]
Fogarty was a good baserunner. In 1887, he finished second in the NL in stolen bases with 102. In 1889, he led the NL with 99 stolen bases.[3]
Splitting his time between right field and center field, Fogarty was regarded as one of the best defensive outfielders of his era.[4]
Before the 1891 season, Fogarty contracted tuberculosis. He died in Philadelphia in May at the age of 27.[5]
