Default Art Fletcher

Art Fletcher started off as a utility infielder for the NY Giants in 1909. Art was quite a character and a fan favorite. John McGraw was impressed with
his play and made Art their regular Shortstop in 1911. Art was an excellent fielder and played Shortstop till he retired in 1922.
Then in 1926, Miller Huggins persuaded Fletcher to take a coaching job with the NY Yankees. Art was the Yankees 3rd base coach from 1926 - 1945.
