Paschal's defining season came with the Yankees in 1925. He hit .360 with 89 hits, 12 home runs, 56 runs batted in, 49 runs and 14 stolen bases across 89 games. Every one of those figures except games was a career high.
Eight seasons gave him 243 hits, 47 doubles, 24 home runs, 138 runs batted in, 143 runs and a .309 average across 364 games. He made 223 appearances in the outfield, while many of his other games came in a part-time offensive role.
Cleveland gave Paschal his first major-league opportunity in 1915, and Boston brought him back in 1920. He joined New York in 1924 and spent his final six seasons with the Yankees. He followed his exceptional 1925 with 74 hits, seven home runs and 46 runs in 1926, then remained a productive reserve through 1929. He died in 1974, at seventy-nine.
