Biography

Dan Howley, born in 1885, was a professional baseball player who had a brief career in the early 20th century. He played as a position player from 1913 until his last game on August 23, 1913. During his time in Major League Baseball, Howley appeared in 26 games, where he recorded 4 hits, 2 runs batted in (RBIs), and 3 stolen bases, finishing his career with a batting average of .125. Although he did not hit any home runs, his speed on the bases was a notable aspect of his playing style. Howley's career unfolded during a period of significant transformation in baseball, as the sport began to shift from the deadball era to a more offensive-oriented game. While his statistical contributions may not have placed him among the game's greats, Howley's presence on the field during this transitional time reflects the diverse talents players brought to the diamond in the early 1900s. His time in baseball, though short-lived, is a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the fabric of the sport's history.
