Player Biography
Once described as “170 pounds of scrap iron, rawhide and guts,” Zachary David Wheat was a model of consistency during a 19-year career, spent mostly with the Brooklyn clubs of the National League. Wheat’s soft-spoken demeanor off the field belied a competitive fierceness on the diamond. Considered an intelligent ballplayer with impressive defensive skills, Wheat vexed his opponents the most with line-drive hitting, which netted 2,884 career hits. Beloved by the fans in Brooklyn, Wheat was remembered by Casey Stengel as “the only great ballplayer who was never booed.”
