Player Biography
Hailed as “The Peerless Leader,” Frank Chance carved a special niche as an inspirational player-manager, guiding the Chicago Cubs to four pennants in five years (1906-1910), including consecutive World Series championships in 1907 and 1908. Chicago’s 116 victories in 1906 remain a major league record. Immortalized as the third link in the famed verse “Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance” from the poem “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon” by Franklin P. Adams in 1910, Chance was a hard-nosed first baseman and a career .297 hitter. He hit better than .300 four times and paced the National League in stolen bases twice.
