Joseph McNamara (May 2, 1866 – December 30, 1916), known professionally as Reddy Mack, was an Irish-born professional baseball player. He played professional baseball from 1885 to 1890, mainly as a second baseman. Mack played the first four years of his career with the Louisville Colonels, before joining the Baltimore Orioles for the final years of his career. Through his career, he proved to be a mediocre hitter and fielder, except for the 1887 season, where he hit .308 with 147 hits in 128 games. [1][2]
Mack died in Newport, Kentucky from an accidental fall.
