Jake "Eagle Eye" Beckley
All-Time Leader in putouts More career hits than Hornsby,Wheat,Ott,Ruth,Griffey (Beckley is 35th all time. He was second all-time when he retired) Holds record for best batting average among Pirates 1st basemen (.300) Second all-time: Games played at 1st (2,376) I might be a little biased picking Beckley. I have family in the Hannibal,MO area, Beckley's birthplace and where he played for a minor league team. (About a year ago I visited his gravesite) I also live near KC where he played for the Kansas City Blues and later operated a grain business. Last edited by cool-vintage; 07-22-2015 at 03:20 PM. |
