Jock Somerlott

John Wesley "Jock" Somerlott (October 26, 1882 – April 21, 1965) was an American first baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the Washington Senators from 1910 to 1911.

For a time after their marriage the Somerlotts lived in Garrett, Indiana, where he was employed as a fireman on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, from which he retired in 1912.

He divided his time between baseball and farming until 1937, when the family moved to Bronson, Michigan, where he engaged in business until his retirement in 1947.

John Somerlott, or "Jock", as he was familiarly called by the old timers, was in professional baseball in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the Southern Cooper County League.

Somerlott went into the major league in the summer of 1910, with the Washington Nationals (now the Washington Senators), where he played for nearly a year, until he came back to Indiana late in 1911, taking over the Terre Haute ball club as playing manager, presumably he retired from baseball after the season of 1914, when he bought a farm in Steuben County.
