Stafford attended College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and later pitched in two games for the Cleveland Spiders in 1893.[1] After his major league appearances, Stafford played in the minor leagues until 1898, including seasons in the New England League and the Western League.[2] His older brother was James Joseph "General" Stafford, who played in the major leagues between 1890 and 1899.[3]
Stafford became known as "Doc" after his playing career, when he became an optometrist in his hometown of Dudley, Massachusetts.[2] He died in 1940, aged 70; both he and his brother are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Dudley.
