Baseball Historian Biography

"If ever a home run hitter fit his ballpark, it was Norm Cash swinging for the seats at Tiger Stadium. He spent 15 years with the Bengals and hammered 212 of his 377 career HR's in a Detroit park that was ideal for a left-handed pull hitter. Though never the AL's home run titlist, the longballing first Baseman was annually among the loop's leading batters. He Had a high of 41 in 1961, his second season with the Tigers. Norm was signed originally by the Chicago White Sox, for whom he played parts of two seasons before finding a home with Detroit." - "The Home Run Book" by "Topps Baseball Card Company". - 1981 Issue...
