Player Biography
Called “The Mechanical Man” for his remarkable consistency, Charlie Gehringer batted better than .300 in 13 seasons and collected more than 200 hits seven times. As New York Yankees pitcher Lefty Gomez put it, “He’s in a rut. He goes two for five on Opening Day and stays that way all season.” An agile second baseman with quick hands, Gehringer led the league in assists and fielding percentage seven times each. Regarding his quiet reputation, the six-time All-Star said, “You can’t talk your way into a batting championship.” A cornerstone of three Detroit Tigers pennant-winners, he won the 1937 Most Valuable Player Award by batting .371.
