Player Biography
A great all-around player, Lou Boudreau became the Cleveland Indians regular shortstop in 1940, and two years later was named the team’s player-manager, one of the youngest ever to hold such a position. He led Cleveland to the 1948 World Series championship and was named the American League Most Valuable Player. A four-time .300 hitter, Boudreau hit .295 for his career and led A.L. shortstops in fielding eight times. He will be remembered for inventing the “Williams shift,” placing most of the fielders on the right side of the diamond against Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams.
