Default Survey: Most overated pitcher (pre-1930)

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

A favorite of mine is Pat Seerey. This player always strode to the plate as if he was the Bambino. And he took vicious cuts at the ball with very limited success. About a quarter of the time he would walk back to the dugout after three uneventful swipes. Well, he sure didn't hit for average either. But he did have his day. Four homers in a single game!

Now his Leaf card sits right there alongside Adcock, Hodges, Mays, Schmidt and others (soon hopefully to include Gehrig or Lowe - when I will get the Delehanty I can't imagine).
