Born in Covington, Texas, Douglass attended Texas Christian University (TCU), where he played college baseball, college basketball and college football.[1]
The Reds invited Douglass for a tryout mostly in an effort to entice his TCU batterymate, Pete Donohue, to join the team. Donohue caught on with the Reds while Douglass' trial was short lived.[2]
Later in life, Douglass worked as a furniture dealer and operated a furniture warehouse in El Paso, Texas for several years.[3] He died in 1975 in El Paso, Texas of a cardiac arrest.[4]
