A wunderkind pitcher and right fielder known throughout the country, he was the star on the mound for five league championships in 10 years, and one of two players in history--along with Ruth--to lead the Major Leagues in ERA+ (adjusted earned run average) and OPS+ (on-base plus slugging plus).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing from a wealthy family, Caruthers had something other players didn't--leverage. This resulted in several holdouts, including one which took him to Europe. This first full-length biography rediscovers one of baseball's most interesting characters and first two-way stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Heller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476691800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476691800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Dave Heller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860662055167,"sku":"9781476691800","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75b307c1-b772-43aa-abf7-9d70398d11d5.jpg?v=1709136574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parisian-bob-caruthers-dave-heller-9781476691800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
