In terms of stats, there are several ballplayers in the HOF with numbers that do not equal Henrich's stats (proportional
to years played).
Mazeroski for starters......
.............yrs......AB........H.......HR........ BA......RBI.......R.......OBP......SLA
Maz.........17....7755....2016....138..... .260......853.....769.... .299.... .367
Henrich....11.....4603....1297....181..... .282.....795......901... .382..... .492
NOTE....the significance of RBI's and RUN's in Henrich's stats vs Maz's stats.
Henrich lost 4 yrs of playing time while in the Coast Guard (1942-46)
Peter....did you see him play ?
I did from 1947 - 1950....and this guy was a tremendous clutch hitter, one of the best. That's a factor that does not
show up in the stats. He was in 5 World Series and he was a big factor in the Yankees winning all 5 of them.
And hey, looky here....the Ohio/Texas "tandem dudes" have entered the fray !
By some twisted form of thinking....look for the appearance of a Jack Dunn card to be worked into this thread ? ?
