He hit .335 with 162 hits and 13 home runs for Boston in 1923, and .301 the year after with 77 runs batted in, both among the better offensive seasons any Red Sox player had in that decade. Washington traded for him in 1925 and he played in that year's World Series at thirty-four, which the Senators lost to Pittsburgh.
Ten seasons gave him 963 hits, 201 doubles, 461 runs batted in and a .317 average, playing 522 games at first base and 319 in the outfield for six clubs. He did not become a regular until he was past thirty, after brief and unproductive stints with the Yankees and Indians in his twenties.
He finished with Brooklyn in 1928 at thirty-seven. No Hall of Fame ballot ever listed him. He died in 1959, at sixty-eight.
