Player Biography
Earl Averill was a nimble centerfielder and outstanding offensive performer during his 13-year playing career, spent primarily with the Cleveland Indians. He hit better than .300 in eight seasons, finished with a lifetime average of .318 and held the Indians record for home runs for 55 years. A fan favorite, “The Earl of Snohomish” smacked 238 home runs and was elected to the American League All-Star team six times. Lefty Gomez once said, “I thank the good Lord he wasn’t twins. One more like him would probably have kept me out of the Hall of Fame.”
