- Born Dec. 24, 1889
In 1914, McCreery was pitching for the Butte Miners in Ogden, Utah where he was scouted by Tigers coach Deacon McGuire. The Tigers reportedly purchased his contract for $2,000 (equivalent to $58,400 in 2022). McCreery had earlier turned down an offer to play for the Kansas City club of the Federal League.
McCreery made his Major League debut on August 16, 1914, allowing five runs in only two innings pitched in what was described in the Detroit Evening Times as an "unsatisfactory showing." Although McCreery wrote to a friend that he was "up here in the big leagues to stay," his final big league game would come eleven days later on August 27.
