Welcome to the Giants Exhibition Hall
Travis Jackson is one of a long series of famous shortstops on the New York Giants. Though still young and with years of athletic service left, he was handicapped by a knee injury which nearly ended his career in 1932. Last year, 1934, he found a new lease on life when moved to third base. Knee and shoulder injuries are the most disastrous hurts in baseball, effecting speed of foot and throwing. Jackson is still one of the best hitting infielders in the game, a rarity, since a shortstop who can hit above .300 and field above .970 is rated doubly valuable in a day when managers will often carry a man who hits a bare .250 for the sake of his sharp fielding.
Coffee Talk
Name that player!
They call "Joe" Moore the "Gause Ghost," because of his frail appearance and his quiet, deliberate manner. For eight years, however, Moore has made his presence felt with the Giants, proving one of the steadiest ball-players in the league. Moore is a "ball-player's ball-player." Not flashy, he is a timely hitter and one of the best fielders in the league. He has a powerful throwing arm, too. Last year he was not in the best of health but came through, nonetheless, with 151 hits, 47 runs-batted-in, and 80 scored. His life-time major league batting average is .303, over a period of ten years.
