Name that player!

Sam's 1950 batting average was only .251, but his base knocks included 23 home runs. Sam is one of the few players who never was in the minors. He came directly to the A's from college in 1938, and - with time out for Uncle Sam - has been with them ever since. His best season was 1941, when he hit .322 and drove in 106 runs. Sam got the All-America nod in football at U. of California.

Who is it?


"Down in Sudlersville, Md., a farmer boy was playing on a high school team and dreamed of big league baseball... and of the day when he would rate with Ty Cobb and the diamond heroes of the past. That boy was Jimmy Foxx and he... well, in 1933 they voted Jimmy Foxx the best player of the American League. Jimmy Foxx was only 18 years of age when he was bought by the Athletics in 1925 and was started on a career that has brought him big league fame. In 1932 he led the American League in runs scored, and in 1933 he led the League in batting with an average of .356 in 149 games. He started out as a catcher but now plays first base. He bats and throws right-handed."

Who is it?


No. 6, The Catcher's Throw: A catcher's throw to the bases is distinctly different from the throwing style of any other position on the team. The catcher throws overhand, crooking his elbow close behind his head and snapping the ball with a brisk, whipping motion. He must never throw with a sidearm or full arm sweep, as is the pitching method. The quick overhand snap gives accuracy and speed and comes only with long practice. A good catcher gets ready to throw to the base before the pitched ball reaches his glove.

Esteury Ruiz
