Harry Heilmann benefited from Ty Cobb’s guidance (you see, someone did!) and was one of the smoothest hitters of the 1920’s. Heilmann would win the Batting Title four times (all with an average over .390) and the lowest he hit that decade was .328. While he was not exactly part of the power boom of the 20’s, he still finished in the top five in Slugging six times and exceeded the 1.000 plateau in OPS five times.
While he never won the MVP, he did finish in the top ten in voting five years in a row including a second place finish in 1927. Heilmann would enter the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1952, and in 2000, his name was honored in rightfield.
