Herzog and Baker Lively Pair in World Series Debate
Maryland duo Charles Lincoln Herzog and John Franklin Baker loom as the key third base tandem for the rivals in the looming World Series. Herzog, “Canteloupe Charles,” brings fielding flair and late-season form, while Baker, “Home Run Baker,” provides power and clutch hitting, with both men having roots in Maryland and notable early careers in Reading, Tri-State, and the Athletics-Giants era. Herzog aged 28, born Baltimore, has a .282 season mark. Baker aged 29, born Trappe, Md., has a .327 season average and a long stint with Mack’s Athletics.
