Baseball Historian Biography

Eddie Joost was a hustling, determined shortstop and played for the Cincinnati Reds in the early 1940s. After serving in the U.S. Military in World War II, Joost signed with the Philadelphia Athletics and became one of the better fielders in the game. Eddie Joost starting wearing eye-glasses, learned how to take pitches with the result that his hitting improved as well as his on-base-pct. In 1949, Joost walked 149 times, on-base-pct of .429, slugged 25 doubles and 23 home runs. Joost's career stats: .361 on-base-pct, .239 BA, scored 874 runs, with 238 D and 134 HR's. Eddie Joost is still an all-time favorite with the fans in Philadelphia and as a fact- in 1990 over 1,500 baseball loyalist lined up at a trading card show to get Joost's Autograph. Thanks for the memories. Baseball Historian
