[northeastphillyguy]

Can j post a player from 1899-1914 or should I not even bother

You can. But who is going to know the player without cheating?

 

[Rex Racer]

Can j post a player from 1899-1914 or should I not even bother

Can I slap you?

 

[Rex Racer]

Just kidding, I don't need to ask.

 

[Omar 382]

OK here's the player

• Starred in John McGraw's 1904 pennant-winning and 1905 World Series champion team
• Five times in his career, he finished in the top three in batting average, top ten in his league in OBP, SLG, and home runs
• He reached 100 games in his career just five times, due to alcoholism and eccentricism
• Had his best season in 1905 when he hit .356/.413/.495 with a 159 wRC+ for a 7.4 WAR
• Nicknamed "Turkey Mike"

 

[Omar 382]

Northeast look my player up so I can give a different one

 

[jvett77]

I looked it up for the hell of it. "Turkey" Mike Donlin, so named because of his odd gait, was an alcoholic and eccentric who was actually a good hitter. Took time off occasionally to act with his vaudeville wife. One of many players who refused to play for the Phillies after being traded there. lol.
