Biography
Oliver Daniel Pickering (April 9, 1870 – January 20, 1952) was an American professional baseball center fielder, who played for the Louisville Colonels, Cleveland Spiders, Cleveland Blues / Bronchos, Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns, and Washington Senators of Major League Baseball (MLB). Upon his retirement from playing the game, he became an umpire and later retired in Vincennes, Indiana.
The term "Texas Leaguer" is often attributed to the debut of Ollie Pickering, either in the majors or the Texas League, who came to bat and proceeded to run off a string of seven straight bloop hits.
