Moose played in the major leagues for 9 years, from 1934 to 1943. He wound up hitting 83 career home runs, which still counts in the top 1,000 of all time in 2015 when I write this.
He played for five teams, was born in Pittsburgh, in 1906, and his best year for homers was 1937 with 20. He finished in the high teens a few other times.
Moose broke into the majors at age 28, so he will not be in the top 1,000 probably beyond this season, as will the other seven, including HOFer Luis Aparicio.
More homers are hit since WWII (and the Babe), as well.
We look back and we wish you and yours well, Moose.
