Story
From Shamokin to the Major Leagues
Stan and Harry Coveleski, Jake Daubert, and Bud Weiser each carried a Shamokin connection into Major League Baseball—and each followed a distinctly different career.
Historically established
Four Paths to the Major Leagues
Major League Baseball records connect all four players with Shamokin. Their careers span different positions, teams, seasons, and achievements rather than one shared legend.
Brothers on Their Own Terms
Harry Coveleski earned the nickname “Giant Killer” during his own pitching career. His younger brother Stan later won 215 games and entered the Baseball Hall of Fame, but the brothers’ records deserve to be read separately.
Daubert and Weiser
Jake Daubert became a .303 career hitter, won the 1913 Chalmers Award, and played on Cincinnati’s 1919 championship club. Bud Weiser appeared with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1915 and 1916, giving Shamokin another direct link to the major leagues.
