Joe Dolan (baseball)

Joseph Dolan (February 24, 1873 – March 24, 1938) was an American professional baseball player who played 323 games over a five-season major league career between 1896 and 1901.

Dolan played a total of 18 seasons including over 1,300 games in the minor leagues mostly at the Class A and D levels.

[3] Although he'd play in 11 different minor league cities, he spent the bulk of his time, seven seasons, in Omaha where he also made his home after retiring.

Interestingly, Omaha had no fewer than four nicknames during this time including the Omahogs, Indians, Rangers, and Rourkes.

After taking off a few years from baseball (he had retired in 1910), Dolan played one more season in 1913 for the Bangor Maroons at age 40.
