Mike Corcoran

Michael Corcoran (October 10, 1858 – October 11, 1927) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Chicago White Stockings (later renamed Chicago Cubs) of the National League. Mike's brother, Larry Corcoran, was also a Chicago White Stockings pitcher, and was Mike's teammate in 1884. He pitched all 9 innings for a complete game but gave up 16 hits and 14 runs, 4 of which were earned, and was charged with the loss in a 14–0 defeat. The Detroit Free Press said that "There is a strong resemblance between the brothers in feature, stature and action, but not in effectiveness." Larry Corcoran pitched both the game before and the game after Mike Corcoran's start, giving the Corcoran brothers three consecutive starts.

In 1885 Corcoran played in the Colorado State League, with records of him playing for at least 3 teams in the league – the Leadville Blues, Pueblo Ponies and Denver Solis.
