RAY SCHALK·1922

Ray Schalk spent 1922 behind the plate, and the White Sox spent it going nowhere — 77 and 77, a club splitting even. He caught 142 games, which is less a position than a sentence. 591 putouts, 150 assists, three passed balls, hands that never quit. At bat he hit .281, got on at .379, knocked 22 doubles among 124 hits, drove in 60, stole 12, and hit 4 home runs. The three frames ahead keep the .281, the home runs, and every game he caught.
