James Patrick Archer (born May 13, 1883 in Dublin, Ireland, died March 29, 1958 in Milwaukee, WI) was a baseball player for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1904, 1918), Detroit Tigers (1907), Chicago Cubs (1909-1917), Brooklyn Robins (1918), and the Cincinnati Reds (1918).
As a catcher, he could remain squatting and still throw out runners attempting to steal second base due to his unique arm strength from an accident that shortened his muscles.
