[1] Visner also has the distinction of being one of the few Native Americans to play professionally in the years prior to the arrival of the much more famous Louis Sockalexis.

Visner began his Major League career with a brief appearance with the Baltimore Orioles in 1885, playing in four games and getting three hits in thirteen at bats.

[3] After a successful season in Brooklyn, Visner then jumped over to the Players' League and played all of his games as the starting right fielder for the Pittsburgh Burghers.

[4] When the Players' League folded after just one season, Visner moved back to the American Association and played sparsely for the Washington Statesmen and the St. Louis Browns in 1891.

[5] Visner died in Fosston, Minnesota, at the age of 85, and was interred at the Hansville Cemetery, buried under his birth name of Vezina.
