Charlie Gehringer was the best second baseman of his era. He is regarded by many as the best two-strike hitter of all time and his seemingly effortless fielding ability earned him the nickname of
The Mechanical Man.
Sports writers groused that he was too quiet to be a star. Charlie replied that he didn’t hit with his mouth. This work follows Gehringer’s career from the day a scout spotted him on the sandlots of Michigan in 1923 to his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1949 and into his life after baseball.
