Edward D. Burke (October 6, 1866 – November 26, 1907) was an American Major League Baseball outfielder.
During that time, he played for five teams: the Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Alleghenys, Milwaukee Brewers, Cincinnati Reds, and New York Giants.
[1][2][3] Born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, on October 6, 1866, Burke spent many of his formative years playing baseball on a ballfield that was located on the north side of the polo grounds in that county.
[4] In 1890, Burke was traded in midseason along with pitcher Bill Day for Billy Sunday.
This is the only recorded time the famed evangelist was traded during his baseball career.
