Dublin-born Archer took over as the Cubs' catcher in 1909 when star Johnny Kling
was a season-long holdout. Archer, perhaps the best-throwing catcher of his time,
made Kling expendable in 1911. Archer's right arm had been terribly burned by hot
tar in an industrial accident. In healing, the muscles shortened but were left with
a unique strength, enabling him to throw from the squat. This became his trademark.
He led NL catchers in assists in 1912.
Called one of the “greatest catchers ever” by Chicago Cubs’ legend Johnny Evers, Jimmy Archer was the catcher for two pennant winning teams (1907 Detroit Tigers and the 1910 Chicago Cubs) in his career. A Cub from 1909 to 1917 (part of the Tinker-to-Evers-Chance era), Archer once threw out threw three baserunners in an inning and was said to be the first catcher to throw out a runner from the squatting position. Archer was born in Dublin, Ireland, but was raised in Montreal and later moved to Toronto with his family.
