John E. "Jack" Manning (December 20, 1853 - August 15, 1929) was a 19th century Major League Baseball player. Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, he broke into the National Association in 1873 at the age of 19. His career covered 12 seasons, eight teams, and 3 leagues. He was a pitcher who also played many games in the outfield, and would play the infield positions on occasion as well.
On October 9, 1884, when his Philadelphia Quakers ballclub was visiting the Chicago White Stockings in Lakeshore Park, he slugged three home runs in the same game, becoming the 3rd player to do so.[1] The other two were Ned Williamson and Cap Anson. All three having their big game in that hitter friendly park in 1884.[2]
Jack died in Boston, Massachusetts, and was interned at New Calvary Cemetery in Boston.[3]
