Player Biography
The pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1920 to 1937, Harold “Pie” Traynor was regarded by John McGraw as “the finest team player in the game.” A .320 lifetime hitter, Traynor batted better than .300 in 10 seasons and never struck out more than 28 times in a single campaign. An excellent third baseman, he set the fielding standards by which decades of successors were measured. He was immensely popular as a player and a person. Red Smith wrote that “no truer gentleman ever wore spikes.”
