Baseball Historian Biography

An outstanding ball-hawk, Johnny Hopp was a hero for the Cardinals in the 1944 World Series when he delivered clutch-hits and batted .336 as St Louis won the Series. In that season's regular schedule, playing centerfield, he hit a career high in batting average with .336, lined 35Ds, 9Ts, 11Hr, scored 106, and led all outfielders with a .997 fielding percentage. Traded to the Boston Braves in '46, the good guy hit a solid .333, busted 23 doubles in 129 games and stole a career-best 28 bases.  Baseball History
