Player Biography
Ernie Lombardi, legendary for his powerful drives, hit with his fingers interlocked so he could grip his bat – the league’s heaviest – closer to the end. In a 17-year career, Lombardi batted .306 and captured the 1938 National League Most Valuable Player Award and two batting titles (1938 and 1942). Lombardi had an outstanding throwing arm, rifling the ball with a sidearm release from the crouch position. Lombardi once stated: “I told every batter what the pitch would be, and we still won.” Lombardi was behind the plate for Johnny Vander Meer’s consecutive no-hitters in 1938.
