{{cleanup-peacock}} Jack was a fine hitter who never had a chance to prove himself in the majors. In 1928 he had 232 hits and scored 169 runs for Oklahoma City. In 1931 with St.Paul he hit .340 and scored 150 runs. Based on that performance the New York Yankees acquired his rights from St. Paul. The Yankees tried him at 2B but he was blocked there by future HOF [[Tony Lazzeri]]. After a fine season with the Yankees Newark farm team, he was shifted to 3rd base in 1934, but lost the job to [[Red Rolfe]]. After that Jack did most of his hitting in the minors where he continued to paste the ball. In 1945 he returned to the majors at age 42 with Pittsburgh and hit .325. == Sources == * {{cite-baseball-card | year=1993 | team= | league= | maker=Megacards-Conlon Collection }} * {{cite-book | title=The Ballplayers-page 958 | last=| first=| publisher= Arbor House-William Morrow | city=New York | year=1990 }}
