Jimmy Claxton was an impressive hitter; a .350 career batting average 1914-39, primarily for integrated semi-pro and minor league teams (confirmed 277 hits/794 at-bats). In 1929 he hit a preposterous .667 (36 for 54 at the plate in 17 recorded starts) with 13 hits in 13 consecutive at-bats. He was frequently the starting pitcher and clean-up hitter on every team he played for over that duration. Yakima Indians manager Sonny Sontheimer, once described him as, "a team in himself".
