Believe it or not, I pecked out most of this list on my phone last night when I got home and plopped down on the couch. All from memory. A slow process, but that gave me time to think. This was yesterday’s question of the day on 680 The Fan. What did I leave out?
MILLER HUGGINS [SABR Bio] hit more than 10% of his career home runs off Christy Mathewson. Of Huggins’ nine career home runs, the one on 19-Jun-1907 was off Mathewson. It was also a lead-off HR. All 9 HR were of the inside-the-park variety. Miller Huggins has been a Double Unique since his debut on 15-Apr-1904. Huggins is the last Hall of Famer with 1,000 or more career hits to have over 85% of them be singles. Exactly 1,269 of 1,474 his career hits were singles: 86.1%. Willie Keeler was higher at 85.7% (2,513/2,932). Only those two hall of famers had that high of a percentage of singles. Huggins was the Yankees’ manager in the three seasons prior to winning their first pennant. Huggins managed New York from 1918-1920. He continued managing them for their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th pennants 1921-1928. Included therein were their 1st, 2nd & 3rd WS championships.
