Happy Jack's goal is to see as many baseball fields as possible, major league, minor league, little league, it doesn't matter. When logging Happy Jack's travels, please include the name of the field with a photo of you and/or Happy Jack at the field. The field doesn't have to be near a cache.
The Happy Jack Travel Bug is named for John Dwight "Happy Jack" Chesbro. He was a Hall of Fame pitcher born in North Adams, MA. Chesbro was an early spitball ace whose 1904 performance with the New York Highlanders still rates among the game's most remarkable seasons. He started 51 games, completed 48 and was the victor in 41 while hurling 455 innings. From 1901-06, he won 154 games, averaging 25 per season. Hurling for pennant winners in Pittsburgh and New York, Chesbro was a league leader in winning percentage three times; wins, appearances and games started twice each; and once each in complete games, innings and shutouts.
His 41 victories in 1904 is a modern major league record.
Jack Chesbro was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946.
The Happy Jack Travel Bug began its journey at Joe Wolfe Field, the home of the North Adams Steeplecats, a summer collegiate baseball team.
