Who was John Abadie?
John Abadie was an American professional baseball first baseman who played in Major League Baseball during the 1875 season. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Before he played in the major leagues, Abadie played first base for a semi-professional team in Easton, Pennsylvania. In 1874, the team beat the Philadelphia Athletics, the Philadelphia Whites, and the Brooklyn Atlantics. When the National Association expanded in 1875, Abadie and seven of his teammates were drafted because of the team's success.
Abadie played 12 games with the Philadelphia Centennials and Brooklyn Atlantics during the 1875 season, compiling a batting average of .224 with 5 RBI and 4 runs scored. Abadie is the only player in major league baseball history to have a career triple slash line of .224/.224/.224.
After the 1875 season, the National Association lost 5 of its teams and was forced to fold. Abadie returned to playing semi-pro ball and never appeared in the major leagues again.
He died at the age of 50 in Pemberton, New Jersey.
