Player Biography
The most celebrated defensive outfielder of the deadball era, Tris Speaker played a shallow centerfield, amassing a record 450 assists and mastering the unassisted double play. John Lardner wrote that Speaker was “as free and easy in the broad spaces of an outfield as a wild horse on a prairie.” A terrific hitter with a .345 lifetime average, Speaker set the career record of 793 doubles and finished with 3,515 hits. A successful player-manager, he led the 1920 Cleveland Indians to a World Series championship.
