In 5,697 plate appearances over 13 years in the majors in the "dead ball" era (before 1920.) Pretty damn good!!

"The only remaining purpose of the ban was to keep them from the immortality of being inducted into Cooperstown, which bills itself officially as the "National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum."
The last word is the most important.
Museums exist to tell about history, and history is always messy -- including in sports. They shouldn't be solely designed for the sanitized, establishment-approved version of events, or allow outside considerations to overshadow actual accomplishments. They certainly shouldn't serve as part of some carrot-and-stick approach to desired behavior."
