Hall of Famer Joe Sewell had an interesting career:
1) He was called up mid-season by Cleveland to replace Ray Chapman after he tragically died after being hit by a Carl Mays pitch. 2) He used only one bat during his entire major league career. It was a 35-inch, 40-ounce Ty Cobb model Louisville Slugger he dubbed "Black Betsy" and kept in condition by seasoning it with chewing tobacco and stroking it with a Coke bottle. 3. He only struck out 114 times in 7,132 at bats including 115 straight games without a strikeout.
