Local Duo were Teammates on Connie Mack’s 1929 and 1930World ChampionsBy Rev. Connell A. McHugh

Joe Boley, born John Peter Bolinsky on July 19, 1896, in Mahanoy City and Jack Quinn born in Slovakia and who was brought to the Hazleton Area as an infant and had his name changed

from John Quinn Picus, played on the 1929 and 1930 World Champion Philadelphia Athletics of Connie Mack. Boley served as the regular shortstop and batted .251 in 1929 and .276 in 1930. Jack Quinn won 11 and lost 9 splitting his time as a starter and relief

pitcher in 1929 and in 1930 had a 9 – 7 record while being used primarily in relief.

Joe Boley was considered one of the better fielding shortstops of his day and was a good contact hitter although he lacked power. Boley did not become a Major Leaguer until the age of 31, not because of any lack of ability but because the International League Baltimore Orioles, for whom he played, liked Boley so much that they would not sell him to a Major League club for a reasonable amount. The Oriole teams that Boley played for are considered among the best in the history of the minor leagues winning 7 consecutive International titles from 1919 – 25. In 1926 when the Orioles were being disbanded, Connie Mack purchased Boley’s contract for $60,000.

Boley became part of Mack’s “Million dollar infield” which consisted of Hall of Famer, Jimmie Foxx, Max Bishop, Jimmy Dykes, and Boley. The Boley-Bishop double play combination was regarded as one of the best of its day. Among the superstars

that were teammates of Boley and Quinn were Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Foxx, and Hall of Fame pitcher Robert Moses

“Lefty” Grove. Grove won an amazing 79 games while losing only 15 from 1929 – 31, while leading the American league in ERA each season. Joe Boley played 6 seasons in the Majors and had a .269 lifetime average. He was elected to the International League Hall of Fame in 1954. Boley died Dec. 30, 1962, in Mahanoy City, and is buried in St. Mary’s Slovak Cemetery in that city. Jack Quinn’s baseball cards most often have Jeanesville, Pa. as his hometown and the baseball encyclopedia lists Jeansville, Pa. as his place of birth. The 1933 Goudey card of Quinn has him b o r n in Hazleton, Pa. As stated earlier he came with

his parents to the Hazleton Area as an infant. His father was a coal miner and his mother died in his early years. Quinn worked as

a blacksmith and played for recreational baseball teams.

Jack Quinn went 14 – 0 with Richmond of the International League before joining the New York Highlanders who eventually were named the Yankees. He played on the Yankees first pennant winner in 1921 winning 8 and losing 7. Quinn’s best year was 1914 when he went 26 – 14. At the age of 45, he had a fabulous year in 1928, winning 18 and losing 7 for the Athletics. Quinn

compiled a 247 win 217 loss career with a fine 3.27 earned run average in 23 Major League seasons. He is often referred to as “Baseball’s Methuselah” since he pitched in the Majors until the age of 50. Quinn is regarded as “The King of Old Man records.” He is both the oldest pitcher to start a World Series game and to finish one, which he did in relief. He is the oldest pitcher to hit a homerun (age 46). Quinn is also the oldest pitcher to make an opening day start which he made for Brooklyn in 1931 at age 47. Finally, he is the oldest player to lead the Majors in a category. He led the National League in saves in 1932. At one time Quinn had the record of most career games

won by a pitcher after the age of 40, but Phil Niekro eclipsed this record. Jack Quinn’s main form of exercising during his Major League career was that of hiking. He always would say when asked his age that he would tell it when he retired. He died in Pottsville, Pa. in 1946. P
