Earle Combs (HOF) - Eastern Kentucky State Normal School
Earle Combs (HOF) - Postcard of the 1918 baseball team for the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School (today, it is Eastern Kentucky University). Combs originally intended to become a school teacher. He is in the back row at the far right.
In the Major Leagues, he accumulated a .325 lifetime batting average in 12 seasons with the fabled New York Yankees of Ruth and Gehrig. He was the leadoff hitter and played centerfield where he was succeeded by Joe DiMaggio.
