Mickey Cochrane - Baseball Hall of Fame Biographies
Mickey Cochrane batted .320 during his 13-year career and excelled behind the plate, but he also possessed that special trait -- a fierce, competitive spirit -- which gave him exceptional leadership qualities. Black Mike was the spark of the Athletics' pennant-winning teams of 1929, '30 and '31, hitting .331, .357 and .349, respectively. As player-manager for the Detroit Tigers from 1934-37, he directed them to a league championship in 1934 and the World Series title in '35. A beaning in 1937 ended his playing career.
