Simmons Tops Tribe In Baseball Power and Clutch Hitting
Connie Mack praises Al Simmons as the standout fielder and clutch hitter for the Athletics while noting his steady rise since 1924 when critics doubted his unorthodox stance. Simmons posted a .386 average in 1925 and .343 in 1926, competing with Heilmann for batting titles and driving runs batted in with timely hits.
