Daniel George Coogan (February 16, 1875 – October 28, 1942) was an American baseball player and coach. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, he played professionally for 11 seasons, including one in Major League Baseball with the Washington Senators. He also coached several college teams during and after his playing career. He was 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) tall and weighed 128 pounds (58 kg).[1]
Coogan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1875. His parents, John and Emma Coogan, died when he was young.[2]
Coogan attended Girard College and played for the school's baseball team until he graduated in 1892. He then attended the University of Pennsylvania and was the baseball team's catcher from 1892 to 1894.[2] During this time, he acquired the nickname "Little Danny Coogan" due to his small stature.[3]
