Zlinedavid Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 FWIW, if I were to have guessed, I would have said Mo Vaughn, but he surprisingly hit .300 in his MVP year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Andre Dawsow was one of the worst. 280 something and I knew Maris was way below that. Got me stumped on this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I just assumed it was Hawk in 1987 but that doesn't sound correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 The answer is….the legendary Marty Marion, shortstop of the Cardinals in 1944. He hit .267 to Maris’s .269 in ‘61. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m usually pretty good with sports history, but this is the first time I’d ever heard of him. A true old school defensive SS, I’m assuming?

Yeah, of course I never saw him play, but he was supposedly a great fielder and leader on some pretty fair Cardinal teams. Tall for a shortstop. I hope some day the Hall of Fame voters put him in...
