Playing for the Braves, Gremminger led NL third basemen in putouts and fielding in 1902 and in putouts, assists, and double plays in 1903; those were his only years as a regular, despite respectable hitting. He managed in the minors from 1908 to 1912. (NLM)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » October 2, 1902: In the Giants game at Boston, there is one stolen base but eight runners are caught trying to steal (as noted by Cliff Blau). In addition, three runners are picked off base (although one manages to advance thanks to an error) and two more are thrown out at the plate. Ed Gremminger scores the winning run in the 14th inning, beating the throw from the Giants' third baseman, Billy Lauder, who had fielded Pat Moran's grounder. Roger Bresnahan is ejected from the game for arguing after he was caught trying to steal third with two outs. With all these lost runners, and with the help of three double plays, Luther Taylor nearly gets away with yielding nine walks. » July 28, 1903: Boston's Vic Willis outpitches Mathewson to beat the Giants, 5-3. Third sacker Ed Gremminger solves Matty, banging out a single, double, homer and sacrifice to lead Boston.
