John Franklin Houseman (January 10, 1870 in the Netherlands – November 4, 1922 in Chicago) was a Major League Baseball player. He played in 1894 for the Chicago Colts, and in 1897 for the St. Louis Browns, primarily as a second baseman.
Houseman was the first Dutch-born player in the major leagues when he made his debut for the Colts in 1894.[1]
On December 30, 1903 Houseman and fellow player Charlie Dexter were in a box watching the show at the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago when the Iroquois Theatre fire broke out; they were credited with breaking down a locked door and rescuing a number of people.[2]
