Player Biography
Playing in an era that favored slap-hitters, Frank “Home Run” Baker manned the hot corner for Connie Mack’s famed “$100,000 Infield” in Philadelphia from 1911-1914. He led or tied for the league lead in home runs in each of those years, though he never hit more than 12 in a season. In the 1911 World Series, Baker’s home runs on successive days off of Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson earned him his nickname. The Maryland farm boy was a .307 lifetime hitter and batted .363 in six World Series.
