Mickey
Cochrane
|
|
(b. April 6, 1903 - d. June 28, 1962)
|
| An exceptional defensive catcher and dangerous hitter, Cochrane led the Athletics and Tigers to five pennants, including two as Detroit manager. "Black Mike" cracked the .300 mark in eight seasons, and his lifetime .320 average is the highest of any catcher. Mickey was twice AL MVP. In 1937, Cochrane was beaned by Yankee pitcher Bump Hadley and suffered a fractured skull, ending his career at the relatively young age of 34. |
