Siglin was born in Aurelia, Iowa, in 1891. He started his professional baseball career in 1913 with the Central Association\'s Waterloo Jays. After batting .227 during his first season, Siglin was hitting .320 in July 1914 when he was purchased by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He made his major league debut on September 12 of that year.\n', '

Siglin appeared in 23 MLB games from 1914 to 1916, and he went 9 for 56 (.180) at the plate. In 1917, he moved west to join the Pacific Coast League\'s Oakland Oaks. He spent one season with Oakland, one with the Salt Lake City Bees, and then two with the Portland Beavers, never hitting above .283.\n', '

After the 1920 season, the Beavers traded Siglin to the Salt Lake City Bees for Marty Krug. While reporting the trade, The Deseret News noted that, "Due to his personal inclinations to the Salt Lake club, it is very likely that Siglin will play a much better game for Salt Lake than he did for Portland."\n', '
