Default Sheriff Harris

Player #133A: David S. "Dave" Harris. "Sheriff". Outfielder with the Washington Senators in 1930-1934. 406 hits and 32 home runs in 7 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Boston Braves in 1925. His best season was 1931 for Washington as he posted a .434 OBP with 50 RBIs in 284 plate appearances.

Sheriff Dave Harris was not a real sheriff, but he was a real ballplayer. He never got more than 340 at-bats in a major league season, but in several seasons he was much above average.

In 1931 he posted a line of .312/.434/.506. His slugging percentage was by far the highest on the team while his batting average was close to the best (Sam West hit .333).

In 1932 he posted a similar line of .327/.400/.538. His slugging percentage was again by far the best on the team, while his batting average was almost the best (Heinie Manush hit .342). Although a backup with only 156 at-bats, he placed 19th in the MVP voting.
