Harry (Doc) Sage (March 16, 1864 - May 27, 1947) was a Major League Baseball catcher in 1890 for the Toledo Maumees of the American Association. He was a native of Rock Island, Illinois.
In his only major league season, Sage played in 81 out of 132 games for the Maumees. A good defensive catcher, his .948 fielding percentage was above the league average of .925. He was a huge liability at bat, however, hitting a paltry .149 (41-for-275). He managed to contribute some offense, however. He walked 29 times to raise his on base percentage to .235, scored 40 runs, hit two home runs and drove in 25.
Sage died in his hometown of Rock Island, Illinois at the age of 83.
