Arky Vaughan (Paperback)


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Joseph Floyd "Arky" Vaughan was a Major League Baseball shortstop. Born in Clifty, Arkansas, Vaughan made his major league debut in 1932 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He hit .318 with 61 RBI in his rookie season. Over the following decade, Vaughan established himself as one of the finest hitting shortstops to ever play the game, batting over .300 in every season through 1941, and regularly being at or near the top of the league in runs scored, RBI, batting average, stolen bases, and walks. In 1935, he hit a career-high .385, with 19 home runs and 99 runs batted in; he was named Player of the Year by The Sporting News and was third in National League MVP voting. That season has been called the best ever by a shortstop other than Honus Wagner. In the 1941 All-Star Game, Vaughan hit two home runs, but was upstaged by a ninth-inning, three-run homer by American Leaguer Ted Williams.
