Out of the 8 players thrown out of the league, one them was Fred McMullin. He was a utility player, meaning he could play anywhere that they needed him. There was only one catcher on the Sox roster, and he was the backup.

 

McMullin Never Caught

In his six years in the major league Fred McMullin never caught a game (he played 6 games at SS, 259 at 3B, and 10 games at 2B). Just because a player is labeled as a "utility player" does not mean he can play every position.\rThe 1919 White Sox had two other catchers that season (besides Ray Schalk). Joe Jenkins palyed in 4 games and Byrd Lynn played in 28 games.
