Austin Ben Tincup (April 14, 1893 – July 5, 1980) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1914 to 1928. In 1918 his career was interrupted while he served in World War I.[1]
Born in Adair, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), Tincup was a member of both the original Cherokee Nation and its modern counterpart.[2]
Tincup was one of the first Native Americans to play Major League Baseball.
After his playing career, he was an umpire in the American Association (1933), a Minor League Baseball manager (1936–1939), a coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers (1940), a scout for the Boston Braves (1946–1948), Pittsburgh Pirates (1949–1953) and Philadelphia Phillies (1956–1958) and a coach for the New York Yankees (1960–1961).
