Sun Daly

Sun Daly distinguished himself during 10 years in professional baseball from 1888 through 1897. His only time in the majors came in 1892, when he played in 13 games for the Baltimore Orioles as an outfielder. However, the left-hander put together four minor-league seasons hitting over .300 and received continual praise for his fielding. In the early 1890s he “gained the nickname of Sun, while playing with [the] Buffalo [Bisons], never wearing sunglasses.”1

The New York native played eight of his professional seasons in the northeastern United States, five in the Empire State. He remained there after his playing days and spent the last 30 years of his life in Albany with his wife and family.2

James Jonathan Daly was born January 6, 1865, in Port Henry, New York, a small town that incorporated four years later. It is located in the northern part of the state, on Lake Champlain. Information regarding Daly’s parents or possible siblings has not yet been found or confirmed.

Growing up in Port Henry, James started playing baseball with the local team in 1883 at the age of 18.3 According to his obituary, he began his career as a pitcher before moving to the outfield.4

In 1887 Daly went across the river to Vermont to join the Rutland Nine, formally known as the Rutland Athletic Association. This club was in the Northeastern League, a semiprofessional circuit. The Rutland Herald reported upon his acquisition, “Daley (sic) is another left-handed hitter, and they say he is a good one. He is also a good fielder and can throw.”5 He began the season hitting leadoff.6 In a game on July 20 against the St. Albans Detroits he hit a home run. The next day the following was written: “The features of the game were the magnificent batting of Daley (sic), whose fly over the center field fence, carrying him around the diamond, was probably the finest hit ever made on the grounds.”7 Despite starting off well, by mid-August his performance had started to diminish.8 He was dropped to sixth in the batting order.9 On August 10 the Rutland Nine were 12-3 and in first place.10 They went on to win the league’s pennant.11

The following spring Daly (age 23) got married on April 21 to a Rutland woman named Alice Brown (born 1865).12 The ceremony was held at St. Peter’s Church in Rutland with the reception following at her father Patrick’s house.13 Shortly after the wedding, Jim left for New Hampshire and played the 1888 season with the Portsmouth Lillies of the New England League.14 He returned to Rutland the following offseason.

In spring 1889 Daly left the Northeast and joined the Minneapolis Millers of the Western Association.15 The Minneapolis Sunday Tribune wrote, “Center Fielder Daly arrived from his home at Rutland, Vermont, yesterday, prepared to go to work. Daly comes with the best of reputations. During the two years he played in the New England League he led the league in batting. … Daly is of medium height, quick thick set [references list him as 5-feet-8 and 165 pounds], and his breast and biceps show great muscular power … [he] says he has no scruples against putting the ball over the fence this season more times than he has during any other.”16

On April 13 the Millers opened their season at the old grounds in South Minneapolis.17 Their opponent was the Lyndales; all gate receipts from the game were given to the Minneapolis Journal’s fund to assist the “Dakota sufferers.”18 Although unidentified by the Journal, these peoples were presumably those victimized by massive fires that had recently swept through the Dakota Territory.19 

Over the first month and a half of the season Daly played well and was highly thought of by the club. Difficult roster decisions, however, forced his release and he signed with the St. Paul Apostles, a Western Association rival. The Minneapolis Tribune wrote the following on May 30: “Jim Daly, the honest, hard working little left fielder, of the Minneapolis team, is a Miller no longer. He signed a St. Paul contract last night, and will scamper about in left garden for the Apostles today. Daly is one of the best fielders in the association, and always plays to win. The management were sorry to let him go, but they were compelled to make a choice between Daly, Turner and Buck] West, and as the latter two had been batting a trifle better, it was finally decided to let [John] Barnes have him. … When the St. Paul management found out he was in the market [they] hunted him and induced him to put his name on a contract. The members of the local club and his numerous friends among the cranks want to see Jimmy get up among the stars.”20

St. Paul’s decision to sign Daly paid immediate dividends – he homered in his second game with the club.21 The Sunday Tribune wrote a week later, “Daly continues to bat and field in his usual good form and is making it more apparent each day that [Minneapolis] manager [Sam] Morton made a mistake in letting him go.”22 The positive reports continued throughout the month following various games.

• “Both his catches were of remarkable order, and he secured two singles and a home run.”23
• “Daly covered left field splendidly, pulling down six long flies.”24
• “Daly played a brilliant game in left field, making four difficult catches.”25

The Apostles were so pleased with his play that in October they reserved him for the 1890 season.26

On March 30, 1890, the Saint Paul Daily Globe ran an article introducing each of the Apostles’ players for the upcoming season. Regarding Daly it wrote, “He got his training in Vermont and Massachusetts, joining the Minneapolis team in 1889, coming to St. Paul later. … Daly covers a great deal of ground in the field, hits the ball safely, but not hard, and runs the bases with judgement and success. His habits are of the best, and he promises to develop into a great fielder.”27

On May 25 a game against Omaha received special mention, “It was not until 4:10 that the game was called and even at that time the grounds were full of mud-puddles and fielders did not know whether to go barefooted or wear rubber boots. Evidently the general public thought there would be no game for there was an attendance of not over 200 who paid admission. … Daly [playing left field] made a clever running catch through mud and water.”28

Primarily a left fielder, Daly saw time at first base on September 20 against Denver.29 Over his 95 games played that season, he finished with a .277 batting average while hitting four home runs and stealing 20 bases. Among outfielders with a minimum of 80 games played, he finished fifth in the league with a .910 fielding percentage.30

Leaving the Midwest in 1891, he headed to Maine to join the Portland club of the New England League.31 He received many positive reports in May. One wrote, “Daly [is] doing great work with the stick.”32 Another newspaper praised him for being part of the team’s “great trio.”33 A third report called him “our big hitter.”34

On May 13 against the Lynn (Massachusetts) Shoemakers he displayed a little trickery. “Daly in the ninth inning accomplished one of the neatest tricks ever seen on a ball field. Barney] McLaughlin was on third and [Ed] Slater on first when [William] Collins put in a single just over the first baseman’s head. Collins ran to first and started for second. The ball was thrown to the first baseman and it was evident that Collins would be run down between the bases, but Daly, who was coaching near third, started on the run for the home plate and the first baseman thinking he was a base runner turned towards home allowing Collins to get back to first without being put out.”35

On June 1 Daly was called “the best all-around left fielder in the league.”36 On July 6 it was written, “Jim Daly, Portland’s left fielder, is making quite a record as a phenomenal fly catcher.”37 He received further recognition in an August 3 newspaper which also mentioned family: “There are, however, two men in the outfield who deserve more praise than they have received. Hard workers are they, and men who play ball for a purpose. Mr. Daly, because it is his business. He has a wife and family, and from baseball he gains a livelihood. Our hard hitting left fielder has made an enviable record since he has been here and to him as much as anybody in the team is due the credit of Portland’s string of victories. It is not sentiment with him when he goes to the bat and lines the ball out for a home run or a three-bagger. He has a wife and little ones at home.”38

Just over two weeks after that report, on August 20, Daly was no longer with Portland. Rather, he was playing left field for the Lebanon (Pennsylvania) Cedars of the Eastern Association.39 He concluded the 1891 season there and received the following praise, “Daly, of Lebanon’s, is one of the gilt edged fielders of the Eastern Association. He is a bright star.”40

For the 1892 season he headed back to New York and joined the Buffalo Bisons of the Eastern League. He played 105 games that season while seeing time in the leadoff spot and playing right field.41 Once the Bisons’ season came to a close, he and a few teammates joined a local club named the Casinos of the Buffalo City League in late September.42 A few days later, on September 25, he and those Bison teammates played in a game in which they easily beat the Travelers, 10-2. Bisons pitcher Schellermen started for the Casinos.43

Five days later Jim Daly joined a major-league roster for the first time as he signed with the Baltimore Orioles of the National League.44 Making his debut September 30 against Brooklyn he collected two hits, including a triple, off Brickyard Kennedy.45 He played center field for the Orioles for a few games, hit in the middle of their order, and then switched to left field. In total he appeared in 13 games for the club before the season ended October 15. The Sporting News on October 22 wrote that the play of Daly pleased the “local cranks immensely” and called him a “jewel of the first water.”46

For the 1893 season Daly chose to return to the Bisons. The Buffalo Courier on May 8 reported, “Twelve men are at present wearing the green and white uniform of the Buffalo Base-ball [club] of the Eastern League.” The paper went on to introduce each of those 12 players, including James Daly, who “hails from the ‘Green Mountain State,’ is 27 years old, weighs 165 pounds, and is 5 ft. 8½ in. in height. He began his first professional engagement with the Rutland club, which won the pennant of the Vermont league in ‘87. In ‘88 he was a member of the Portsmouth (N.H.) team of the New England League, and his work attracted the attention of the management of the St. Paul club. He played with that club in the seasons of ‘89 and ‘90 in the Western League. In ‘91 Daly was with the Lebanons and led the fielders of the Eastern League. Last year he played with Buffalo, and the latter part of the season joined the Baltimores. Daly is a brilliant fielder, and also knows what the bat was made for – cracking out base hits.”47

Of a home run he hit on May 6, the Buffalo Courier wrote, “Jim Daly knocked one ball into the river and it is now undoubtedly well on its way to Long Island Sound.”48 At the end of July, Daly injured his fingers during a game.49 However, he wound up missing just a few games.50 Overall in 1893 he played in 111 games while hitting .333 with six home runs and 18 stolen bases.

For the 1894 season Daly returned to Buffalo.51 It was another strong season – he hit .307 in 82 games – but he suffered an arm injury during a collision and had to miss time starting in late August.52 Earlier that month, his wife, Alice, experienced an even greater loss. The Buffalo Courier described in detail how she lost her pocketbook containing $100 – $3.670 in 2024 value.53

At the end of September he was back in the lineup as his Bisons played the Cuban Giants on September 29 and 30. The Giants, an independent Black team, featured many notable players, including 2006 Hall of Fame inductees Frank Grant and “Sol” White. Daly went 3-for-6 in the first game as Buffalo won, 18-6.54 The following day he went 3-for-5 as they lost to the Giants, 5-4.55

That offseason, the Buffalo Courier reported in January that Daly had purchased “a half interest in Billy Madden’s gold mine.”56 Billy Madden was a well-known boxer and boxing manager. In 2010 he was inducted into the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame.57

By February 1895, Daly had been offered a contract with the Bisons but was holding out for more money.58 In March he chose to sign with the Rochester Browns of the Eastern League. The Buffalo Courier printed an article from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle which stated, “Daly is a favorite in Buffalo, and until last year played star ball and gave universal satisfaction. Early last season he met with an accident, which badly disabled him. While running to catch a fly he collided with Second Baseman John] O’Brien and was sent to grass by the concussion. His shoulder and side were badly injured, and he reposed in drydock for the best part of the summer. Toward the end of the season, he got to work again and despite his handicap showed up well both in the official batting and fielding averages of the League. Daly could have signed with Buffalo this year had he felt so disposed, but the desire for a change came over him and he offered his services to Rochester. Daly writes that he is in excellent shape and that he will be in readiness to report for practice with the rest of the team on April 15.”59 The article added that “Jim’s admirers in this city [Buffalo] will wish him the best of successes, even with our friends, the enemy.”60

Following Daly’s signing, Rochester manager Jack Chapman was quoted as saying, “Daly will be missed very, very much in Buffalo, for he was the best man they had for their left field…There is no question but that he will strengthen the Rochester team very much. His hitting last season was .306 and fielding .875. Daly always plays hard for his club to win and is a man of good habits.”61 Daly went on to hit .337 in 128 games for the Browns in 1895. In 1896 he returned to the Rochester club, renamed the Blackbirds, and finished 10th in the league in batting at .349.62

In the spring of 1897, Daly was released by Rochester and joined the Scranton (Pennsylvania) Red Sox of the Eastern League. Confused by his release, the Buffalo Courier, as quoted in the Scranton Republic, printed an editorial which posed the following questions:

• “Who can face the sun and bring down the flies that Jim Daley (sic) was noted for?”
• “I’d like to know who the man is that will do Daly’s work in that field opposite the sun and then line 350 percent of ‘em out?”63

The Scranton Times confirmed his signing in March.64

Reports of Daly from that season with the Red Sox were limited, but he did attend service at St. Peter’s Cathedral on April 18 with teammates.”65 On April 20 he suffered a knee injury sliding into third base.66 In May he and another ballplayer were named co-respondents in a divorce proceeding in Rochester between a couple named Smith.67

On June 21 it was announced that Daly was released by Scranton to join the Reading (Pennsylvania) Actives of the Atlantic League.68 He played there a couple weeks before being released again, this time to the Wilkes-Barre (Pennsylvania) Coal Barons of the Eastern League.69 He spent a week on the Wilkes-Barre roster before being released, according to a report on July 16.70

This time Daly wasn’t released to a specific team, so he chose to head back to Rutland, where he had previously played in the 1880s. He was back in uniform and playing second base on July 17 against St. Albans.71 He did not see much playing time over the next month and a half. However, his presence itself served as an inspiration to his Rutland teammates.72 By season’s end he had appeared in six games, hit .304, stolen three bases, and finished with a .900 fielding percentage as he wrapped up his career in baseball.73

Upon retirement from baseball, Daly entered the cigar business.74 In 1904 he “secured a fine position as the general representative of a big cigar concern.”75 In its March 19, 1904 edition, the Buffalo Enquirer noted Daly’s involvement in the tobacco business – but noted too that Daly’s cousin, Aaron Hinkley, manager of the Hartford, Connecticut ball club, reached out to Jim asking for help finding a few players for his club. Daly was willing to help and put word in the local Buffalo paper for those interested to come down to the cigar store.76 The following year, the Buffalo Times printed a dialogue between Bill Corcoran of the Detroit Americans and Daly talking about the spitball at Jim’s cigar store and baseball headquarters.77

Even after retiring from baseball, reports from Daly’s playing days made their way into newspapers. The Buffalo Enquirer printed a long story about some trouble teammate Billy Clymer got into for stealing a baseball bat and Daly’s role in a prank regarding his punishment.78 The Wilkes-Barre Record published an interview in which Dan Shannon, manager of the Wilkes-Barre Coal Barons, told how Daly amusingly became a coach (of sorts) during a game.

“Did I ever tell you how ‘Sun’ Daly became a coacher?…Why, you know Jim Daly was never known to open his mouth from the minute he gets into his uniform until he is ready to tell the waiter at the supper table that he would have some macaroni,” said Shannon.

The tale continued, “One day in 1894—when I was managing Wilkes-Barre—Buffalo came along for her second series of games. Daly was playing right field—at least he was out there for that purpose…Well, Daly was in right field, and up to the fourth inning had let four ground balls go by him, and muffed one fly ball. When the Bisons finally got us out, Daly came in from right field to the coacher’s box at first base, dropped his mitt on the grass, and, getting in position, commenced to coach. We were all of us thunderstruck, for every player knew that Daly would never think of coaching unless from some extraordinary impulse.”

Daly’s banter from the box was quoted: “Get at ‘em! Go fur ‘em! Never give up, fellers. We kin skin ’em yet. Only one behind—that’s nothin’. There you go, Jake] Drauby, kill him.”

Shannon resumed, “That was the way Daly kept up a running fire of coaching, never glancing towards the bench. Three of the Buffalo crowd went out in their order and Daly quietly picked up his mitt and returned to his station in right.  When they had retired the boys again Jim again stopped at first base and commenced his sing-song-catch-a-ky-me-oh. Finally, I was inclined to ask the cause of his sudden change and so I called over to him from second base:

‘What on earth are you doing over there, Jim, hollering like that?’

‘What do you s’pose I’m doing?’ asked Jim. ‘D’you think I’m going into that bench after that exhibition out’n the field and get a tongue lashing from the likes o’ him! Nit! It’s a dumb sight more pleasant taking a hack at coaching!’

“And that’s the way Sun Daly became a coacher right here in Wilkes-Barre,” the yarn concluded. It facetiously referred to Shannon, then just 33, as “Uncle Daniel.”79

With regard to family, following Daly’s marriage to Alice in 1888 they had five children: Frank, James, Alice, Marion, and Charles.80 In 1930 Jim and Alice lived in Albany, where they rented a home. Living with them at the time was their son Charles, his wife Helen, and their daughter (Jim and Alice’s granddaughter) Claire. Also living in the house were their daughter Marion and her son William Gerard.81

James J. Daly died on April 30, 1938, at the age of 73 in Albany – a few weeks after celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary. He was survived by his wife, two daughters, and two of his sons (his eldest son, Frank, had died in 1907 at the age of 1882), as well as four grandchildren.83 Jim Daly’s burial location is unknown.
