A college graduate playing in the major leagues in the first quarter of the 20th century.
He graduated from Colombia in 1907. So, Ivy League to boot!
.333 lifetime BA with over 3,300 hits. And, was a clean player on the Black Sox. Of course, they'd never have asked him, as the rougher bunch that threw the series couldn't stay the college guy.
