Player Biography
In 1922, at the age of 16, Fred “Lindy” Lindstrom hit .304 in 18 games at Toledo. Two years later, he became the youngest player to appear in a World Series game, as a member of the New York Giants. Although Lindstrom had a powerful arm and good range, hitting was always his forte – he compiled a lifetime .311 batting average. A fan favorite, Lindstrom’s quick wit and confidence made him one of the few players who dared talk back to manager John McGraw. A week after Lindstrom’s death, his son Andy wrote: “He did with ease what the rest of us could not even comprehend.”
