Baseball Historian Biography

'Long Bob' Meusel carried a .309 life-time batting average for perhaps the greatest team of all-time - the 1927 New York Yankees, and was a big part of their 'Murderers Row'. Although, Meusel played only 11 seasons in the big leagues, he hit 40 or more doubles five times, captured a home run title, tied a ML record with four assists in one game, stole second, third and home in one game, and is one of only three players to hit for the cycle three times in his career. The 6-3, 190 pound, nicknamed 'Long Bob' because of his long legs, stole 140 bases in his career. In 1924, he played right-field, smashed 24 homers, drove in 135 runs and helped the Yankees win their first-ever pennant. All-told, Meusel played on six Yankee pennant winners, 1921-1923, 1926-28. Bob Meusel Career: .309 BA, 1693 hits, 368 Ds, 95 Ts, 156 Hrs, 1067 RBIs, .497 slg/pct, .356 on-base-pct, in 1,407 Games, 5476 at-bats. Baseball History
