Trades Break Up Great Outfields Of Another Day
Sports writer Davis J Walsh notes the breakups of legendary outfields in baseball history. He recalls the St Louis Browns Baby Doll Jacobsen trade to Boston via the Athletics, the Tigers loss of Sam Crawford, Cobb, and Veach, and the Speaker Lewis Hooper trio dissolving after 1916. He highlights Tobin's prime, Williams and Tobin’s later form, and the lingering question of whether the famed outfields could have endured.
