ABOUT HAL TROSKY

MLB first baseman who hit .302 during an 11-year career with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox.

He grew up on a 420-acre farm in Iowa.

He played during the time that Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx played, so he was never selected for an All-Star team.

His son Hal Jr. played for the Chicago White Sox in 1958.

He and Jim Thome were two of the best home run hitters in Indians history.
