| This Month's Featured Players |
|
| Retiring with a career .291 batting average in 9 big league seasons, Chief Meyers was easily one of the more productive catchers in the Deadball Era. In 1912, he finished 3rd in the MVP balloting in the National League, batting .358 during the regular season and .357 for the New York Giants in the World Series vs the Boston Red Sox. In 1939, Armando Marsans became one of the first ten players inducted into the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame. Over an 8 year career, marred by legal challenges to the Reserve Clause, he was the first Cuban player to make an impact in Major Leagues. His career included 176 stolen bases in just 655 games and his .317 average in 1912 was his career high. Past Featured Players |
