Russ Wrightstone, Philadelphia Phillies, 1925, lefty hitter -- OF, 3B, SS, 2B:
.346 BA, .389 OBP, .591 SA.
286 at bats, 18 doubles, 5 triples, 14 home runs.
No card for Wrightstone! Just discovered this guy, he put together a few very solid seasons for the Phils in the mid-20s, even if he wasn't always on the field.
From the SABR Bio Project entry on him: "Everyone agreed on one thing about Russ Wrightstone, who played major-league baseball from 1920 to 1928, mostly with the Philadelphia Phillies: He could hit. Former teammate and future Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel once told a national television audience that Wrightstone was 'the best left-handed line drive hitter' he ever saw."
