BELIEVE IT OR NOT, but, that’s how far back MLB has to go to find a lineup all
hitting over .300! And, guess what lineup that was? OUR OWN TIGERS. and here
they are: cf….jo jo white………………….307
c….mickey cochrane…………..328
2b..charlie gehringer……………364
LF…goose goslin…………………306
ss…billy rogell……………………303
1b…hank greenberg…………….337
3b…marv owen………………….322
rf…gee walker…………………..301
p…schoolboy rowe…………….302
NOW YOU HAVE A TRIVIA QUESTION THAT NO ONE WILL KNOW AROUND THE WATER
COOLER OR OVER THE BACK YARD FENCE. The above averages were taken as of 9-9-34.
Of the above lineup only billy rogell finished below .300 (.296) by season’s end. Even
the “Schoolboy” finished at .303! THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND.
