John Hauck (August 20, 1829 – June 4, 1896) was a German-born American brewer and bank president. He was also an executive of the Cincinnati Red Stockings professional baseball team in the mid-1880s. His former residence in Cincinnati is now the offices of Cincinnati Preservation Association.
Hauck came to the United States from Bavaria at the age of 22, and worked for his uncle, Cincinnati brewer George M. Herancourt. [1] In 1863, Hauck formed his own beer brewery, [1] originally named Hauck & Windisch and later the John Hauck Brewing Company, in Cincinnati's west end, and soon became wealthy. Hauck was also president of the city's German National Bank. [1]
Hauck became principal owner of the Cincinnati Red Stockings after the 1885 season, taking over from George L. Herancourt, [2] [3] his cousin, who went bankrupt. [4] [5] Hauck delegated to his son, Louis, the day-to-day management of the club. [6] The 1886 Red Stockings finished in fifth place in the American Association. [7] Following that season, Hauck sold the team to Aaron S. Stern, who had previously owned the team several years earlier. [2] [3]
Hauck was married in 1858; he and his wife, Catherine, had a son and a daughter. [1] Hauck died in June 1896 and was buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery. [8]
The Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 were baseball's first all-professional team, with ten salaried players. The Cincinnati Base Ball Club formed in 1866 and fielded competitive teams in the National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP) 1867–1870, a time of a transition that ambitious Cincinnati businessmen and ballplayer Harry Wright shaped as much as anyone. Major League Baseball recognized those events officially by sponsoring a centennial of professional baseball in 1969.
The Western League was the name of several minor league baseball leagues that operated between 1885 and 1900. These leagues were focused mainly in the Midwestern United States.
