Biography

Sam McConnell was born in 1895 and had a brief professional baseball career that spanned the early 20th century.

During his time in the league, McConnell appeared in six games, where he recorded two hits, resulting in a batting average of .182. He did not register any home runs or runs batted in, and he did not steal any bases.
