John Francis Moore (March 23, 1902 – April 4, 1991) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball. He hit better than .300 five times with the Cubs and Phillies with a high of .330 in 1934. He drove in 90 or more runs in a season two times with 98 RBI in 1934 and 93 RBI in 1935. He finished his 10-year career with a .307 batting average (926-3013) with 73 home runs, 452 RBI, and 439 runs scored.[1]
He was on the 1932 Chicago Cubs pennant-winning team, but went 0-7 with a run scored in 2 games in the World Series against the Yankees who swept the Cubs.
In 1945, Moore was called back to the majors by the Cubs after an 8-year stint in the minors in early September, and went 1-6 with 2 RBI down the stretch. He missed being eligible for the World Series roster by only one day.[2]
In 1934, Moore enjoyed a 23-game hitting streak, the longest of his career, going 37-96 (.385) with 4 home runs and 22 RBI as a member of the Phillies.
His finest day in the majors came on July 22, 1936, at the Baker Bowl. Moore connected for 3 home runs, had 6 RBI, scored 4 runs and went 4-5 in a 16-4 rout of the Pirates.[3]
Moore died April 4, 1991, at the age of 89 in Bradenton, Florida.
