He started one game for the White Stockings on July 15, 1884 in a game against the Detroit Wolverines at Recreation Park.[1][2] He pitched all 9 innings for a complete game but gave up 16 hits and 14 runs, 4 of which were earned, and was charged with the loss in a 14–0 defeat.[1][2] He also struck out 2 batters.[1] His brother, Larry Corcoran, was also a Chicago White Stockings pitcher, and was Mike's teammate in 1884.[1] Larry Corcoran pitched both the game before and the game after Mike Corcoran's start, giving the Corcoran brothers three consecutive starts.[2]
