RAY SCHALK·1920

Ray Schalk spent 1920 behind the plate, and he spent it all summer — 151 games caught, 581 putouts, 138 assists. At bat he hit .270, reached base at a .362 clip, and knocked 25 doubles among his 131 hits. He drove in 61 runs and stole 10 bases. The White Sox won 96 games and still went home without the pennant. A catcher's season is mostly sweat and squatting, and Schalk gave Chicago every inning of it. The three frames ahead keep the .270, the 25 doubles, and the 61 runs.
