Player #93: Henry S. "Harry" Courtney. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1919-1922. 22 wins and 1 save in 4 MLB seasons. He finished the 1922 season with the Chicago White Sox.
Courtney also played for the Washington Senators of the American Professional Football Association in 1921. That season he signed with the football Senators for their November 20 game against a team from Clarksburg, West Virginia. However Clark Griffith, the owner of the baseball Senators, found out about Courtney moonlighting as a football player. Griffith ordered Courtney to stop playing football or risk finding himself without a job in baseball. Courtney gave up his football career and continued to focus only on baseball.
With his football career ended, Courtney pitched five times for Washington in 1922 before Griffith sold him to the Chicago White Sox in May; 1922 was to be his last big-league season.
