"Cub" Stricker, born John A. Streaker (June 8, 1859 – November 19, 1937) was an American professional baseball second baseman.

[1] Born in Philadelphia, Stricker was signed by the Athletics as a free agent in 1882 and played four seasons with moderate success.

The final straw came after a home loss, and Stricker jumped into the stands and punched a fan who had been heckling the team.

[1] Cub did not play a game for the Pirates, as he was traded again, three days later to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Adonis Terry.

[3] Stricker died at the age of 78 in his hometown of Philadelphia and was interred at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
