A THIRD BASEMAN, whose
~ memory still evokes pleasant
= recollections in Boston, was
Billy Nash, an aggressive, dashine
player of the late 80s and COS. Nasl,
was the predecessor of Jimmy Col
lins at third base for the old Boston
Beaneaters. and, though he never
reached the prominence OF Collins,
he was one OF the greatest third
baseman OF his day.
Nash played third base for four sue
cessive Boston championship teams. the
Players League champions OF 1890 and
Frank Selee's National League pennant
winners of 1891, 1892 and 1893. Other
members of that old Boston infield were
Tom Tucker at first, Joe Quinn at sec
ond and Herman Long at shortstop.
Billy never VAS q great batSman, as
compared with some of the other sub
Jects who have been treated in this
series. He was dangerous and depend
able. but seldom a 300 hitter. He col
lected only two 300 batting averages,
rising to 1858 in 1887. the year in which
bases on balls were scored as hits.
Yet at the finish Of fifteen-year ca
reer in the majors Nash received life
time batting average of .2S5. which is
fair sticking i'll any base bali era. past
or present.
Nash was a member Of the only big
league team that ever made bid for
the Richmond patronage. In 1854 the
Washington team left the old American
Association for the Union Association.
and the Virginia team of Richmond
took Washington's place in the former
organization.
Billy Nash and his fellow members OF
the Virginia team got their first taste
Of big league ball on August ), 1884,
when the Virginias were stacked up
against the Athletics of Philadelphia.
1t wasn't a particularly impressing
big league debut for either Nash or the
Virgnians. Mathews. the Athletic
pitcher. blanked the newcomers by a
score of Ia to 0, while Nash failed TO
get hit in four attempts and mussed
up one Of eight chances at third base.
Nash didn't show much against Amer
lean Association pitching that year. as
he was awarded the rather humble bat
ting average of 200 for his first sea-
sons work. However, he showed
enough fielding ability and dash to be
