LOS ANGELES 1843-46, WINNEMUCCA (A.L.) 1847-54, WICHITA FALLS (N.L.) 1855, BROOKLYN (N.L.) 1856
Retired #2nd in VORP (622.8) ahead of two other Hall of Famers. A versatile infielder who won 4 best fielder awards and was named to 10 all-star games. Retired with a .301 career batting average, led Winnemucca to the '48 Sunset Series title.
I thought he was a fence sitting case, until I looked more closely at the secondary numbers. He was always a solid guy, but the VORP and the .301 career average were the things that put him over the top for me. Not a first-ballot guy, but no doubt a Hall of Famer.
