    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

    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!!!!

    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.
