Stubby Overmire (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Frank W. Overmire (May 16, 1919 - March 3, 1977) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played ten seasons for the Detroit Tigers (1943-1949), St. Louis Browns (1950-1952), and New York Yankees (1951). In ten seasons, Overmire won 58 games and lost 67 with a 3.96 earned run average. Because of his stature, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) and 170 pounds (77 kg), the left-hander was nicknamed "Stubby." Born in Moline, Michigan, Overmire attended Western State Teachers College, now known as Western Michigan University, where he played for the then Hilltoppers from 1938 to 1941.
