Reds Led Loop In Fielding
Cincinnati topped the National League in fielding in 1943, with Eddie Miller leading the shortstops at .980 and Lonnie Frey setting a second base record before naval and army service took star players away. The year saw oddities such as Ed Stanky’s three miscues and Clyde Klutz catching an entire nine-frame game without a chance.
