This is "Charley" Gelbert's tenth season as a major league ball player. Back in 1932, "Charley's" baseball career was considered over as a result of a bad hunting accident, but courage and the will to come back enabled him to regain a berth in the major leagues. Gelbert was headed for undisputed stardom with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he started his major league career in 1929. He was one of the league's leading shortstops, and a veteran of the World Series of 1930 and 1931, in which his average was an even .300. The accident forced him out for two seasons, but he returned to the Cards in 1935, was traded to the Cincinnati Reds the next year and went to the Senators after a brief sojourn in the minors. With the Senators last year, "Charley" played every infield position, except first, collected 48 hits in 68 games, drove in 29 runs and scored 36 himself.
