Player Biography
“If Chick Hafey had good eyesight and good health,” Branch Rickey said, “he might have been the finest right-handed hitter baseball has ever known.” Charles “Chick” Hafey, a speedy, line-drive-hitting outfielder with the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds, was one of the first players to wear eyeglasses. Hafey’s myriad hitting accomplishments included a five-RBI inning, 10 consecutive hits over three games, six extra-base hits in a doubleheader and two grand slams in one game. He won the 1931 National League batting title and hit .329 or better for six straight seasons.
