Frank "Wildfire" Schulte kept the fire burning through 1912—a .264 average, 146 hits, and a league-leading 12 home runs for the Chicago Cubs. He legged out 11 triples, doubled 27 times, and crossed the plate 90 times. The SkillScore read 122.37, still enough heat for the ledger. Wildfire hadn't gone cold yet. What the box score couldn't show was how he got there—and that's where the cartoon tells the rest of the tale.
