(Cornwall, Township IL, March 20, 1871 – Brooklyn, NY, November 14, 1929) was an American right-handed pitcher in major league [[BASEBALL]] in the late 19th and early 20th century. His early minor-league career gave no indication of his future success. In 1893-94 he was a combined 21-29 for Montgomery of the Southern Association and Kansas City of the Western League, with more walks than strikeouts and far more hits than innings pitched. Returning to Springfield, Illinois, McGinnity operated a saloon and served as his own bouncer when the need arose. He also pitched at the semipro level for the next three years. In 1898 McGinnity returned to professional baseball with Peoria of the Western Association, going 9-4 with fewer hits (118) than innings (142) and more strikeouts (74) than walks (60) for the first time in his professional career.

	His appearances at the plate were often the source of comment for weeks. A poor batter with a .130 average, McGinnity was playing against Marshalltown when he squatted down at home plate when it was his turn to bat. Thge bases were loaded. The pitcher sailed a strike across the plate. McGinnity continued to squat, but as the pitcher let go with the second pitch, an slow one, McGinnity stretched up and hit the ball over the right fielder's head bringing in two runners and winning the game.

McGinnity convinced the Waterloo manager to join him in asking the umpire to call the game and start the second. The umpire agreed, and the second game began ~~when~~ McGinnity ~~alone~~ approached the umpire and protested that Dubuque had not had the opportunity to play the full nine innings. The protest was taken to the league manager who agreed with McGinnity. The game was later replayed, and Dubuque won. (5)		His appearances at the plate were often the source of comment for weeks.
