Robert Edward "Bob" Addy (February 1845 – April 9, 1910), nicknamed "The Magnet",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Addy's career statistics )〕 was an American right fielder and second baseman in Major League Baseball, whose professional career spanned from in the National Association to in the National League. He is credited as the first player to introduce the slide in an organized game, and later attempted to create a game of baseball that would have been played on ice. ==Career== Born in Port Hope, Ontario, he is credited with employing the first slide in an organized baseball game, while playing for the 1866 Rockford Forest Citys of the National Association of Base Ball Players.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = library.thinkquest.org )〕 He was still playing for the Forrest Citys in 1869,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dressed To The Nines: Parts of the Uniform: Jerseys )〕 and was with them two years later when Rockford joined the first all-professional league, the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = retrosheet.org )〕 Rockford lasted just the one season in the Association, and Addy did not rejoin the league until when he joined the Philadelphia White Stockings. He played in ten games as player-manager, before moving on and joining the Boston Red Stockings later in the season.〔 He helped the Red Stockings win the league title that year,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1873 Boston Red Stockings )〕 playing in right field, hitting .355, and finished ninth in the league with a .354 on-base percentage.〔 On January 20, 1874, the National Association's Judiciary Committee met to discuss, among other things, charges that Addy had joined the Boston Red Stockings before 60 days had elapsed since leaving the Philadelphia club. He was acquitted of the charge and was allowed to play.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = baseballlibrary.com )〕 He did not play for the Red Stockings in 1874, as he signed to play for the Hartford Dark Blues, but his batting declined to .239, and his on-base percentage dropped to .243.〔 For the season, he re-joined the Philadelphia White Stockings, playing in a career high 69 games. He batted .258, and finished ninth in the league with 16 stolen bases.〔 For one game on October 28, 1875, Addy was used as a National Association umpire. At season's end, the Association folded and was replaced by National League, and Addy joined the Chicago White Stockings. Chicago won the league title that season, with Addy playing 32 games, and hitting .282.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1876 Chicago White Stockings )〕 Addy moved to his second Major League team in two years, and sixth team in seven years, when he joined the Cincinnati Reds, playing every day in right field,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1877 Cincinnati Reds )〕 and later took over as the team's manager after Lip Pike quit the position. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Addy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
