| - Widely regarded as one of the greatest second basemen of all time, Gehringer was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949 by the BBWAA in a run-off election, defeating Mel Ott. During his career, Gehringer compiled a .320 batting average and had seven seasons with more than 200 hits -- a hit total never reached in a season by Ted Williams or Mickey Mantle or Carl Yastrzemski, and reached only once by Willie Mays. He was the American League batting champion in 1937 with a .371 average and was also named the American League’s Most Valuable Player. He was among the Top 10 vote recipients in the Most Valuable Player voting for seven straight years from 1932-1938. He was the starting second baseman and played every inning of the first six All Star Games. His career totals of 2,839 hits and 574 doubles both rank 19th in Major League history. He scored 100 runs in one season 12 times, 1 short of Lou Gehrig's American League record. Gehringer also led the Tigers to three American League pennants (1934, 1935, and 1940) and one World Series Championship (1935). Gehringer hit .379 and .375 in the 1934 and 1935 World Series. Gehringer was also one of the best fielding second basemen in history, having led all American League second basemen in fielding percentage and assists seven times. His 7,068 assists is the second highest total in major league history for a second baseman. He also collected 5,369 putouts as a second basemen (the 6th highest total for a second baseman) and 1,444 double plays (the 7th highest total for a second baseman). Known for his consistency as a hitter and fielder, Gehringer was given the nickname "The Mechanical Man" by Yankee pitcher Lefty Gomez. [1] Teammate Doc Cramer quipped: "You wind him up Opening Day and forget him." [2] A durable player, Gehringer had two consecutive game streaks of more than 500 games -- one from 1927-1931 and the other from 1931-1935.[3] Career statistics
