After developing his baseball skills north of the border, he moved to Illinois at roughly the age of 20 and later joined the Forest City Club of Rockford in 1866. One of the best teams of the era, it featured stars like Al Spalding, Cap Anson and Ross Barnes. Addy then followed Spalding and Barnes when they moved to the Chicago club in the new National League in 1876. The talented Canadian was known on the field for his wit and the bravado of his playing style and some claim he was the first to slide into a base. In all, Bob Addy suited up for 274 professional games between 1871 and 1877. He passed away on April 9, 1910 in Pocatello, Idaho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MLB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>MJ<\/td><td>AB<\/td><td>P<\/td><td>CS<\/td><td>2B<\/td><td>3B<\/td><td>CC<\/td><td>PP<\/td><td>BV<\/td><td>BB<\/td><td>RAB<\/td><td>MOY<\/td><td>OBP<\/td><td>SLG<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>274<\/td><td>1231<\/td><td>227<\/td><td>341<\/td><td>36<\/td><td>13<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>167<\/td><td>35<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>9<\/td><td>.277<\/td><td>.289<\/td><td>.330<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CDNBaseballHOF\">X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cdnbaseballhof\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0et\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/canadianbaseballhofmuseum\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0et bonne lecture!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about Induction Day <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/fr\/journee-dintronisation\/\">en cliquant ici<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":24576,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","featured":[],"induction_year":[576],"team":[587,588,29,591,589,590],"primary-position":[114,168],"class_list":["post-24254","hall-of-famer","type-hall-of-famer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","induction_year-576","team-boston-red-stockings","team-chicago-white-stockings","team-cincinnati-reds","team-forest-city-club-of-rockford","team-hartford-dark-blues","team-philadelphia-whites","primary-position-outfielder","primary-position-player"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bob Addy - Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/fr\/hall-of-famer\/bob-addy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bob Addy - Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Born in 1842 in Port Hope, Ont., Bob Addy was Canada\u2019s first major leaguer and first star player.
