Biographical Information

Frank Decker played 3 games with the Syracuse Stars in 1879, a city that did not field a major or minor league league team the following year, and he also played 2 games with the St. Louis Brown Stockings in 1882.

This site [1] collected a series of newspaper articles about Decker from 1879. Decker signed with Syracuse but St. Louis (not a major league team that year) had a claim on him, so Decker played three games with Syracuse and then went back to St. Louis.
