Excerpt: Heinz Reinhard Becker (August 26, 1915 November 11, 1991) was a Major League Baseball first baseman who played for the Chicago Cubs (1943, 1945-46) and Cleveland Indians (1946-1947). Born in Berlin, Germany, he was one of only 28 German-born players in MLB history. Becker may be most well-known for being a key reserve on the last Chicago Cubs team to win a National League pennant (1945). He got into 67 games and hit .286 with 2 home runs, 27 runs batted in, and 25 runs scored. He played great defense, making no errors in 28 appearances at first base. In the 1945 World Series he made three appearances as a pinch hitter, going 1-for-2 with a walk. His hit was a single against winning pitcher Dizzy Trout in Game # 4. He was traded by the Cubs to the Cleveland Indians for first baseman Mickey Rocco and cash on June 26, 1946 and hit .299 in 59 games that season. He was released by Cleveland on May 14, 1947. He signed with the Boston Braves two days later, but never again appeared in a major league game. Career totals include 152 games played, 92 hits, 2 HR, 47 RBI, 45 runs scored, and a lifetime batting average of .263. His on base percentage was .359, and he had a slugging percentage of .346. He had a lifetime fielding percentage of .994 in 90 appearances at first base and participated in 64 double plays. Becker died at the age of 76 in Dallas, Texas. Becker had problems with his feet during his playing career, earning him the nickname "Bunions." He was referenced in Chicago columnist Mike Royko's annual Cubs quiz on April 18, 1968: Q: Which of thes...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=788914We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
