Abstract

This article discusses the forgotten lawyer-manager, John C. "Jack" Hendricks, who was one of only eight managers in the history of Major League Baseball to have a background in law. Despite not having a published biography and achieving his greatest success in the minor leagues, this article aims to give Hendricks the recognition he deserves. It provides a detailed account of Hendricks' early life, his career as a lawyer, his brief stint as a player in the major leagues, and his managerial career in both the major and minor leagues. The article concludes by highlighting Hendricks' diverse range of occupations and his unique position as a lawyer-manager in baseball history. [Extracted from the article]
