Jimmy Collins (James Joseph Collins) was born on January 16, 1870 in Buffalo, New York. He made his Major League debut on April 19, 1895 for the Louisville Colonels. In 1895, his rookie year, he hit .273 with 7 home runs and 57 RBI. Collins played for the Louisville Colonels, Boston Beaneaters, Boston Americans and Philadelphia Athletics over the course of his 14 year career.
There is some disagreement on what was Jimmy Collins's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1898, when he slugged 15 home runs, hit for a .328 average and knocked in 111 runs. However, others believe that it was 1901, when he hit for a .332 average and knocked in 94 runs.
