MLB Players That Were Born in 1855

The following Major League Baseball players were born in 1855. While in Spring Training, Frank Thomas, the hall of fame designated hitter who played until he was 40-years-old, said, "I'm worried about the state of baseball, to be honest. If these young kids continue to impress like this, coming up hitting home runs, doing so much on the field, what's going to happen to the veteran players five years from now?" The research below allows you to research those "young kids" in a year by year format. Simply select a year and up comes a list of every Major League player who was born during any given year.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The list of baseball players who were born in 1855 is listed by default in alphabetical order, using the player's last name. However, you can sort the data to meet your needs. Click where it says "Date of Birth" and the data will be sorted by their respective month and date of birth. Click "Died On" and see it listed chronologically, for the month and date as well. Debut Year and Final Year (in the majors) are also sortable.
