MIDDLE INFIELDERS
1899 Jimmy Williams PIT Bats-R BAL-E 3b-2e65 INJ Risk-In Game
LH--2b- 4.1 3b-8.1 HR-1.4 BB-11 .413/.483/.670 OPS-1.153
RH--2b- 6.3 3b-4.7 HR-3.1 BB-11 .423/.492/.684 OPS-1.176
1906 Current Williams, Jimmy Bats-R BAL-E 2b-2e15
LH--2b- 5.8 3b-1.5 HR-0.2 BB-10 .304/.375/.401 OPS-.776
RH--2b- 5.65 3b-1.35 HR-0.2 BB-10 .298/.370/.391 OPS-.761
Led League in triples, much better offense. Maybe Strat will mitigate his errors……………..
1910 Nap Lajoie CLE Bats-R BAL-E 2b-1e28, 1b-3e30, SS-3e62 INJ Risk-3 ADDED TO SET
LH--2b- 12.4 3b-0.9 HR-1.1 BB-11 .554/.603/.736 OPS-1.339
RH--2b- 12.0 3b-0.8 HR-1.1 BB-11 .540/.591/.716 OPS-1.306
1901 Current Lajoie, Nap Bats-R BAL-1L 2b-1e17 / ss-3e40
LH--2b- 13 3b-3.4 HR-4.25 BB-1 .570/.578/.877 OPS-1.455
RH--2b- 12.4 3b-3.3 HR-4.25 BB-1 .547/.555/.846 OPS-1.401
1910 was the season that Lajoie won the batting title (and the prize of a Chalmers Model 30 automobile) over Ty Cobb, and many people thought at the time that the Browns “helped” Lajoie win the title because nobody liked Cobb.
This card would have Lajoie’s best OBP of any of his cards……………..
1912 Johnny Evers CHC Bats-L BAL-E 2b-1e34 INJ Risk-15
