John A. Galvin (August 1842 – April 20, 1904) was an American baseball player who played one professional game for the Brooklyn Atlantics of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP) in 1872.
Professional game
Galvin began playing baseball in 1861, as a member of Exercise of Brooklyn.[1] He joined the Brooklyn Atlantics in 1863,[2][3] where, as the second baseman, he formed part of an infield which also included future professionals Dickey Pearce and Joe Start.[1] In 1868, Galvin played for the New York Mutuals.[2][3]
According to a 1900 New York Clipper article, Galvin was among the first hitters to lay down a bunt.[1]
Galvin returned to baseball to play a single game with the 1872 Brooklyn Atlantics. In the contest, a 23–3 loss to the Boston Red Stockings, he had no hits in four at bats and made four errors in five fielding chances.[1][2]
