Cecil Travis

rdfs:comment

Cecil Howell Travis (August 8, 1913 – December 16, 2006) was an American shortstop and third baseman in Major League Baseball from 1933 to 1947 who spent his entire career with the Washington Senators. He led the American League in hits in before missing nearly the next four seasons due to military service in World War II. His career batting average of .314 is a record for AL shortstops, and ranks third among all shortstops behind Honus Wagner (.327) and Arky Vaughan (.318). Cecil Travis (MLB) recorded five hits in his first ever MLB game in 1933 and led the American League in hits in 1941. The shortstop finished his big-league career with a .314 batting average, which still ranks No. 1 at that position in baseball history. Travis, who played for the old Washington Senators (now the Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins), joined the Army in 1941 and was deployed to Europe in 1944, where he took part in the Battle of the Bulge, eventually suffering from frostbite. After returning home, Travis attempted a comeback, but was never the same player. He retired in 1947.
