Baseball Historian Biography

One of the American League's early offensive baseball players, the curly headed Ralph 'Socks' Seybold was one of the league's premier power-hitters in the 'dead ball era' during the years 1901-1908. When the new American League was formed in 1901, Philadelphia Athletics' owner Connie Mack brought the then 31-year heavy-hitter from Milwaukee of the Western League. Seybold responded by batting a career high .334 in 1901, and his league leading 16 home runs in 1902 helped the A's win their first pennant. He led the league with 45 doubles in 1903 and also drove-in over 90 RBIs in three different seasons. And, helped Mack's A's win still another pennant in 1905 by lining 37 doubles, 4 triples and 6 homers. After he retired in 1908 he stayed in the game serving as a counselor of young players and a Athletics' scout. Socks Seybold's career: .294 BA in 3685 at bats, 1085 hits, 218 Ds, 54 Ts, 51 HR, 478 Runs, 556 RBIs. Baseballhistorian.com - All Rights Reserved
