Sisler the Great Hall of Fame Star of the 1920s Baseball
The Brooklyn club president recalls George Sisler, noting his flawless fielding, left handed advantage at first base, and stunning hitting. Sisler led the American League in stolen bases in 1921 and 1922, batted .407 in 1921 and .420 in 1922 tying the league record, and won the 1922 MVP. An eye trouble sidelined him in 1923, but he returned to hit .305 in 1924 and .345 in 1925. Sister, the smooth pilot, drew attention for making impossible plays and a remarkable unassisted double play. George Sisler left a 16-year major league average of .341 and could have rivaled Cobb without his eye issues.
