Chase, barring one brief adventure
with the outlaw California State league
in 1908, and his Federal league
escapade in 1914-l5, has been in
the major leagues since 1905, when
he broke in with the New York
Yankees.
From the start he has been one of
the stormy spetrels of baseball. he
was early conceded to be the greatest
first baseman of all time and one OF
the most effective hit-and-run batters
that the game has ever produced. Yet
no other player in the history Of the
game has been more severely censured,
more bitterly maligned than this slim,
still boyish, and thoroughly likeable
Californian.
