Major League Baseball Player. Played Major League baseball as a first base from 1910 to 1924 with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds. Led the NL in batting average in 1913 and 1914. Helped the Dodgers to their first World Series in 1916 (where they lost to the Red Sox). He was also a member of the 1919 Cincinnati Reds who defeated the Chicago White Sox in that scandal tainted Series. One of the best defensive first basemen of the deadball era, he had his fifteen year career ended right after the 1924 season when he died suddenly after an appendicitis operation.
