Biography

Day was born in Colchester, Connecticut, in 1847.[1] He became wealthy first in the cigar manufacturing business, and then by opening a tobacco processing plant in Manhattan's Lower East Side.[2]

Day was founding owner of the independent New York Metropolitans in 1880 and leased the Polo Grounds for them to play in, which was the first baseball large-scale venue in Manhattan. In 1883, his New York Gothams/Giants of the National League began play at the same site. By 1885, Day concentrated his attentions on the Giants team. Encountering financial difficulties, mainly as a result of the 1890 Players' League revolt, in January 1893 he sold the Giants franchise to Cornelius Van Cott.[3]

Day was the first of two managers for the 1899 New York Giants, leading the team to a 29–35 record in 66 games played (two contests were ties);[1] he was succeeded by Fred Hoey.[4] In 1900, Day served as the National League's chief of umpires.[5]

Later in life, Day suffered the first of several strokes in 1910.[5][2] He died at age 77 in 1925, having lost his fortune, in Cliffside, New Jersey.[2][6] Married twice but without children, Day was interred at Portland, Connecticut.[2]
