CORRECTED Can you guess which Yankee this is?

OK I messed it up and loaded the wrong photo. I now have the correct clue with the right photo. Try again.

Can you guess which Yankee this is? If you need a hint he was born in Mahonoy City, PA

Is it Urban Shocker.

I think you're right.

[Slippery Elm]

Nope. I'm not playing. You burned me once, so forget it. ;)

But it is not Shocker (from Ohio). Dugan was from PA.

Yes it's Joe Dugan. Great Job!!!! :gulp:

Joe played thrid base with the Yankees from 1992-1928. During that time he had 3000 ABs and played 785 games. In 1924 he made 4 unassisted double plays, which I believe is still a record for third basemen.

No! Tom Hanks character in "A League Of Their Own" was actually Don Zimmer.

The Yankees had several 3 SS's during the '20's

Roger Peckinpaugh - 1913 - 1921
Everett Scott - 1922 - 1925

And Mark Koenig finished off the 20's...He was on the Famous Murders's row YANKEES and was the Original #2...

I think the character was based on Jimmie Foxx.

[Slippery Elm]

It was. Loosely based.

The heavy drinking was not loosely based......lol
