Default Buck Jordan

Player #134: Baxter B. "Buck" Jordan. First baseman with the Washington Senators in 1931. 890 hits and 17 home runs in 10 MLB seasons. He had a career OBP of .340. His best season was 1936 with the Boston Braves as he posted a .375 OBP with 81 runs scored in 610 plate appearances. He debuted with the New York Giants in 1927 and 1929. His last season was 1938 with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Buck Jordan played 10 seasons in the big leagues. A particular skill was that he hardly ever struck out.

Jordan was a regular on Boston Braves/Bees teams from 1933-1936 under skipper Bill McKechnie. On July 17-18, 1934 he set a record by collecting 14 hits in a four-game series (there were doubleheaders against the St. Louis Cardinals both days). His record was later tied by Bill White in 1961 and was finally broken by Charlie Blackmon in 2019, but he retains the record for the most hits over two days.
