Player Biography
Charles “Gabby” Hartnett excelled both as a catcher and a hitter, becoming the first backstop in history to slug 200 home runs and drive in 1,000 runs in his career. His catching prowess prompted pitcher Dizzy Dean to proclaim, “If I had that guy to pitch to all the time, I’d never lose a game.” Hartnett, who played 19 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, including four pennant winners, played for the National League in the All-Star Game the first five years the contest was held, starting behind the plate in 1934, 1936 and 1937. He also won the N.L. Most Valuable Player Award in 1935 and finished second in 1937.
