Sheckard later played for the Cubs, where he helped Chicago win four National League Pennants, two of which they won. The speedy Outfielder also had a keen batting eye, leading the NL in Walks in 1911 and 1912, and he was first in OBP in 1911 (.434). Sheckard swiped 465 bases over his career and tallied 2,084 Hits.
