Professional baseball

Remneas began his professional baseball career with the Butte Miners of the Union Association. He compiled a 22–18 record for Butte in 1911.[2] He continued to play professional baseball from 1911 to 1915, including three games in Major League Baseball as a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1912 and for the St. Louis Browns in 1915. In his three major league games, Remneas had no decisions in 7⅔ innings pitched with a 7.04 earned run average (ERA).[1][3] He played in the Pacific Coast League during the 1915 season.[2]
