He hit 194 hits with 19 home runs and 93 runs batted in for the Phillies in 1935, and had also driven in 93 the year before with 157 hits. Those two seasons in Philadelphia, coming after five years buried on the Chicago bench, were the best of his career.
Ten seasons gave him 926 hits, 155 doubles, 439 runs batted in and a .307 average across 846 games in the outfield. The Cubs had signed him first but rarely played him, and he did not become a regular anywhere until he was past thirty, with Cincinnati and then Philadelphia.
He later scouted for the Cardinals and Angels for decades. No Hall of Fame ballot ever listed him. He died in 1991, at eighty-nine.
