Harry HOOPER (HOF)

Biography

John J. McGraw says: “For years Harry Hooper has been considered one of the greatest outfielders that ever lived. He is also one of the most dangerous hitters in a pinch that the game has known. Many pitchers still remember to their sorrow what he did to them in the several World’s Series in which he has played. Hooper made a catch against us in Boston that beat us out of the World’s championship. If I were an American League manager I don’t know where I could dig up a better outfield than Speaker, Cobb and Hooper.”
