Mickey Cochrane’s Hall of Fame plaque notes that he “compiled a notable record as a player and manager. The spark of the Athletics’ championship teams of 1929-30-31, he had an average batting mark of .346 for those three years. Led Detroit to two league championships and a World Series title in 1935.” Cochrane’s lifetime .320 average is the highest of any ML catcher. Cochrane joined the A’s in 1925 and hit .330 that year, the first of his nine .300 seasons. On May 21, 1925, the lefthanded batter hit three home runs in a single game. That season was the first of his four campaigns as fielding leader among AL catchers. During his career, Cochrane twice led in errors, but led catchers six times in putouts and twice each in double plays and assists. He caught over 100 games in all but his final two seasons.
