Player Biography
Sportswriter Bob Broeg regarded Joe Sewell as “a maestro with the bat.” One of three brothers to play major league ball, Sewell was the toughest batter to strike out in major league history, with just 114 strikeouts in 7,132 at-bats. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Sewell made his major league debut during the Cleveland Indians pennant drive in 1920 – after playing fewer than 100 professional games. Sewell would coach the New York Yankees and scout for the New York Mets and Indians before becoming a public relations practitioner for a dairy farm – and later managed Alabama’s baseball program.
