Slugging legend recalls late-blooming major league career
The profile recounts a hitter who finally joined Pittsburg by draft but was nullified for Horace Fogel’s prior purchase. He moved to Philadelphia in 1913 for 4,000, started his long baseball arc on his 30th birthday, with a peak in 1919 batting .241, leading in hits and total bases, and driving in many runs. He’s described as slow, mediocre infield, unknown on inside baseball, yet one of the greatest sluggers. He played pro football in youth, loves hunting and fishing, is married with a daughter, and winters near Los Angeles.
