Coffee Talk Name that player!
The "Brooklyn Powerhouse" enjoyed a great year in '54 posting the best Batting Average of his career. He placed 2nd in the N.L. in Homers and tied for 2nd with the Most Runs Batted In. Since coming to Brooklyn as a Catcher in '47, he's averaged over 30 Home Runs in 7 full seasons and is one of the most feared sluggers in the League. He's also a great fielder.
After three years of minor-league exile, "Johnny" Babich came back with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics-and made the grade. Unsuccessful in earlier trials with Brooklyn and Boston in the National League, Babich's work in the minors led to his drafting by the A's last year, and he proved well worth the investment of $7,500. Babich won 14 and lost 13 for the Mackmen, with an earned-run-average of 3.73, a high rating in effectiveness.
During his long career in the 'National League, Bob has been one of the best sluggers around. He had another good season in 1950, hitting .305 for 142 games. Slammed 28 doubles, 24 homers. Drove in 107 runs. Originally an outfielder, but while being managed by Frank Frisch at Pittsburgh was made into a third baseman. Traded to the Braves for 1947. Batted .317 that year.
