"Maybe I'm stronger than I look," was the way "Rabbit" McNair always put it when asked how so little a fellow got so much power in his hitting. After 11 seasons of major league ball, McNair still is recognized as a pretty fair ball player, in any league. Last year with the White Sox. he played third base most of the time, and also a bit at both short and second. His batting average was a neat .324, the highest he has ever hit in the majors; he drove in 82 runs on his 155 hits, and stole 17 bases. McNair had only two seasons of minor league ball before he was brought to the Philadelphia Athletics in 1929. He came too late to be eligible for the World Series that year, so he got himself a job as an usher at Shibe Park in order to watch the series and still get paid. He was traded to the Red Sox in 1936, and to the White Sox two years later.
