No, although he had a very good career. He played for 18 seasons (1871-1888) with the Cleveland Forest Citys, Philadelphia Athletics, and Boston Red Caps/Beaneaters compiling a career .294 batting average on 1,574 base hits in 5,359 at bats. He led the National League in base hits (162) in 1884 and hit over .300 in seven seasons.

Ezra Sutton is credited with hitting the first home run in MLB history on May 8, 1871 playing for Cleveland in the National Association. Sutton hit a second home run in that same game.
