Patrick Henry "Cozy" Dolan (January 9, 1873 – March 29, 1907) was an Irish professional baseball right fielder, first baseman and pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Beaneaters, Chicago Orphans, Brooklyn Superbas, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds between 1895 and 1906. Born in Athlone, Ireland, he fell ill during spring training in 1907 and died in Louisville, Kentucky of typhoid fever soon afterwards.[1]
Massachusetts manifest records for the passenger ship Siberia contain an infant Patrick Dolan who arrived in Boston with another Patrick Dolan, likely his father, on June 20, 1874. [2]. USA census records for 1900 show Dolan with the profession "Ball Player," using a stated birth location as "Massachusetts" and age of 24, about three years younger than what Irish birth records reflect. Burial records state his birth as Dec 3, 1872, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. [3]. These differences could reflect his family's desire to reduce a social stigma Irish immigrants faced in that era.
