Edd Roush’s 1923 was gap weather with a batting crown’s manners — .351, 185 hits, 41 doubles, 18 triples, 88 driven in. Cincinnati watched the left-handed stroke turn the alleys into a private road. The cartoon frames catch the black bat’s thunder and the dust that followed.
GAP HEAT
A .351 furnace in the alleys — Cincinnati gap weather all summer.
BLACK BAT
The blacksmith’s black bat cracked like a forge — forty-one doubles in the ledger.
GAP ROAD
Eighteen triples paving a private road between the fielders.
