Baseball Historian Biography

A relentless spray hitter, Phil Cavarretta was a Chicago Cub hero for two decades. Born and raised in Chicago, he graduated from Lane Tech High School and joined the Cubs as a first baseman at age 19 in 1935, and helped them win the National League pennant. In 1938 when the Cubs won another pennant, Cavarretta batted .462 in a losing cause in the World Series against the Yankees. In 1945 during World War II, Cavarretta won the league's batting crown, hitting .355, was voted the Most Valuable Player and helped the Cubbies win still another pennant. Although, the Cubs lost to the Tigers in the World Series, Cavarretta lined 11 hits and batted .423 overall. He later played while managing the Cubs - June 1951-1953 - and played for the White Sox in 1954-1955. Phil Cavarretta's career numbers: .293 BA, 347 Ds, 99 Ts, 95 HR, 1977 Hits in 6754 at bats, 990 Runs, 920 RBIs.
