Hal Chase...HOF in the future?
Posted By: Jeff Lichtman
Sean, it's hard to discern from his good, not great numbers, but in his day Chase was considered one of the very top baseball players of his era. I believe it was Babe Ruth who stated that Chase was the best first baseman he'd ever seen. I'm reading Charles Alexander's biography on Cobb and when Cobb was just beginning his ascent to greatness there was a newspaper story that stated that "other than Hal Chase, Ty Cobb is the best player in baseball." He was that good.
