Today up on the blog, we celebrate the great Dick Seay, Negro League legend and part of the famed "Million Dollar Infield":
The
only member of that famous infield to still wait for his place in the
Hall of Fame, Seay played alongside Ray Dandridge, Willie Wells and Mule
Suttles to form one of the great infields in baseball history.
A
light-hitting player known for his defensive skills, he was
particularly known on the offensive side of things as a bunt-specialist
and hit-and-run guy.
He eventually put in 16 years in the
Negro Leagues, hitting .216 and making three All-Star teams along the
way, appearing in 535 "official" games while accumulating 412 hits over
1905 at-bats.
