Reds Hope for Batting Break in 1942 Season
Cincinnati backers look to 1942 with optimism as ten extra timely base hits would have secured a third straight finish, and no Reds hitter posted .300 in 1941. McKechnie plans changes including Bert Haas at third, Hank Sauer in the outfield, and a hoped-for outfield upgrade. Frank McCormick aims to rebound from a 268 season but remains a run producer with 97 RBIs. The club seeks renewed power and fielding polish to lift the lineup.
