Patrick Henry McCormick (October 25, 1855 – August 8, 1889) was an American pitcherinMajor League Baseball in 1879, and from 1881 to 1883. McCormick died in his hometown of Syracuse, New York at the age of 33.[1]
On July 26, 1879, McCormick, the Syracuse Stars' starting pitcher, hit a first-inning homer [2] to beat Tommy Bond and the Boston Red Stockings, 1–0. This is the first and, most likely, will be the only occurrence in major league history that a pitcher will record a 1–0 victory with his own first inning round-tripper being the game's lone run.
