Career highlights and awards

George Robert Stone, nicknamed Silent George,[1] (September 3, 1876 – January 3, 1945) was a left fielder in Major League Baseball who played for the Boston Red Sox (1903) and St. Louis Browns (1905–10). Stone batted and threw left-handed. He was the 1906 American League batting champion.

Early life

Stone was born in Lost Nation, Iowa, to George and Hannah Stone.[2] Prior to playing baseball, he had a career in banking in Nebraska.[3][2] A 1906 article on him noted that his taste ran to reading, and his hobby was violin playing.[2]

Baseball career

He left his career in banking in 1901 at the age of 24 to join the Omaha Omahogs of the Western League.[3] In 1902 he played for the Omahogs and the Peoria Distillers and led the league with 198 hits, and the next year he again played for the Omahogs.[4][2]

He made his major league debut in 1903 at the age of 26 with the Boston Americans.[5] He played most of 1903 for the Milwaukee Creams of the Western League.[4] In 1903 with the Creams he was third in the Western League in home runs (4).[6][7]

In 1904 with the Milwaukee Brewers he led the American Association in batting with a .406 batting average (which remained the league record until the league closed down in 1997), in slugging with a .558 average, and in hits (254), as he was second in the league in triples (19).[6][2]

In December 1904 he was traded by the Boston Americans to the St. Louis Browns for Jesse Burkett and cash.[5] In 1905 he led the American League in hits (187) and total bases (259), and was second in home runs (7).[5][2]

In 1906, he batted .358 and won the American League batting championship (beating four-time batting champion Napoleon Lajoie), and also led the league in slugging (.501) and in on-base percentage (.417), as he was second in the league in hits (208; behind Lajoie) and triples (20; behind Elmer Flick), and third in home runs (6). In 1907 he batted .320.[1][5][2]

In 1907 he was second in the AL in on-base percentage (.387) and hits (191; behind Ty Cobb), and third in the league in batting after hitting .320 (behind Cobb and Sam Crawford).[5] In 1908, he was third in the American League in home runs (5).[5] He played his last game in 1910.[5]

In a seven-season major league career, Stone posted a .301 batting average (984-for-3271) with 23 home runs and 268 RBIs in 848 games played.[5]

He is the only player who won the American League batting title in the years from 1901 through 1928, who was not made a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[2]

Later life

Stone entered the banking industry in Coleridge, Nebraska, and owned a Western League team in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1916.[2] In 1940, he and his wife Pearl moved to Clinton, Iowa.[2] Stone died of a heart attack in Clinton at the age of 68. The burial was at Coleridge Cemetery, in Coleridge, Nebraska.[8][2]

In 1970 he was inducted into The Des Moines Register's Iowa Sports Hall of Fame.
