Player Biography
Leading his club to the first modern World Series championship in 1903, Jimmy Collins was a magician with the glove and a terror with the bat. A feared clutch hitter for the Boston ball clubs, he batted .346 in 1897 and the following season led the National League in home runs with 15. Collins hit .300 or better five times and was Boston’s player-manager for its first six seasons in the upstart American League. His defensive wizardry is at the hot corner neutralized the opposition’s bunting tactics.
