Hubbell faced better batters. On the other hand, when a batter has never faced a pitcher, it is usually advantage to the pitcher.<br /><br />My guess for the trivia question is 5.

We don't hear the name Hein...You're right. We don't hear the name Heinie anymore. Actually there were several players named Heinie in the early parts of the 1900's. In addition to Manush there was also Heinie Groh for the Reds and Giants (he was featured in the "Players You May Not Know but Should" series) and Heinie Zimmerman of the Cubs and Giants (he was banned aong with Hal Chase after the Black Sox scandal). Overall there have been 22 players named Heinie appearing in the Majors over the years but none since Heinie Heltzel. Heltzel was born in York, PA and appeared in 29 games for the 1943 Boston Braves and 11 games for the 1944 Phillies.<br /><br />Ruth and Gehrig did not get along for many reasons. Mostly they were just two different people. Ruth was flamboyant and loved the spot light. Gehrig was business like and didn't care about getting noticed. He just wanted to play and win. There were several incidents including salary negotiations and off the fild family clashes. They were able to reconcile before Gehrig's death. Some of the disagreements seem more like friendly bickerings than open warfare but they definitely had periods where they were no on speaking terms.Baseball Eras Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330284249952707771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412223823984646516.post-54209881235034667792013-08-06T05:05:52.497-07:002013-08-06T05:05:52.497-07:00first off: why dont we hear the name heine more of...first off: why dont we hear the name heine more often? my next question... why were babe ruth and lou gehrig not on good terms as u mentioned in the post?<br /><br />jthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
