Player Biography
Earle Combs was an ideal leadoff hitter for the legendary New York Yankees of the 1920s and early 1930s. A keen-eyed centerfielder, he averaged nearly 200 hits and 70 walks a season during his prime years, compiling a .324 career batting mark. Combs’ exceptional speed aided him offensively and defensively, enabling him to lead the American League in triples three times and putouts twice. Unfortunately, a pair of serious collisions – with an outfield wall in St. Louis in 1934 and with a teammate in 1935 – shortened his productive career.
