Isaac Leonard Kahdot (October 22, 1899 – March 31, 1999) was a professional baseball third baseman in Major League Baseball. Nicknamed "Chief", he played for the Cleveland Indians in 1922.[1]
Kahdot was an enrolled citizen of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation who grew up in a mostly Indigenous village in Oklahoma and attended Haskell Institute.[2][3]
Kahdot was one of a group of players whom Indians player-manager Tris Speaker sent in during the game on September 21, 1922,[4] which was done as an opportunity for fans to see various minor league prospects.[5]
After the 1923 season, the Indians asked him to play for a minor league team in Grand Rapids in the Michigan-Ontario League but he declined, having moved to Coffeyville, Kansas with his family.[2] Kahdot continued playing minor league baseball until 1941 and worked as a derrickman in oilfields until 1958 at which point he took a job at Tinker Air Force Base for 11 years until retirement. At the time of his death, he was the oldest living former major league player.[6]
