Pete Compton Autographs
Anna Sebastian "Pete" Compton (September 28, 1889 – February 3, 1978) was an American Major League Baseball outfielder who played in parts of six seasons from 1911 to 1918 with five major league teams. In all, Compton would spend 20 years in professional baseball, including two seasons as a player-manager.
Compton was born in San Marcos, Texas. After three seasons in the minors (beginning as a 19-year-old in 1909), Compton hit .352 for Battle Creek, Michigan-based Battle Creek Crickets in the Class C Southern Michigan League before being signed to the St. Louis Browns, where he hit .271 in 28 games.
Compton spent all of 1912 in St. Louis, splitting time in left and right field and also logging 34 games as a pinch hitter. Compton batted .280 but committed nine errors in left field, fourth-worst in the AL despite spending only 49 games there. (That season, Compton also became a part of a strange quirk of the record books: one of his pinch-hit appearances was credited to a nonexistent player named "Lou Proctor", and thus Proctor was listed in the encyclopedias until the 1960s. According to legend, the real Lou Proctor was a telegraph operator who inserted his own name into the box score.)
