Biography In era of aggressive hitters in baseball, during the twenties and thirties, Henry Anton Manush of Alabama was one of the most aggressive - and one of the most durable, compiling a .330 average during 17 seasons in both the American and National Leagues. He was a 6-foot-1-inch 200-pounder, a left-handed outfielder and batter, who played for six clubs starting with the Detroit Tigers in 1923. He was often in the shadow of superstars like Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Harry Heilmann, but not far in the shadow, winning one batting championship and contending for several others. Nine times he it over .300; twice he hit .378. He won the batting title in 1926, his fourth season in the majors; made the World Series with the Washington Senators in 1933; elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1964. When he ended his career in 1939, he had appeared in 2,009 games with 2,524 hits, 110 of them home runs. Heinie Manush was born in Tuscumbia, Ala., on July 20, 1901, and was preceded to the big leagues by a brother, Frank, who played for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908. Fifteen years later, Heinie was signed by Detroit and immediately established himself by hitting .334 as a rookie. He was traded to the St. Louis Browns in 1928, the Washington Senators in 1930, the Boston Red Sox in 1936, the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937 and the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1938. He led the Dodgers in hitting with .333 in 1937, held out for a $1,000 raise to $10,000, then was traded to the Pirates for his final two seasons. After that, he became a minor league manager and a major league scout and coach with Washington. Even in his later years, he ranked as one of the best golfers in tournaments for baseball players, often teaming with his old friend Paul Waner and shooting in the low seventies to take first prize. One of his ironic moments in baseball came in 1928, when he overtook Goose Goslin of Washington in the final weeks of the season, with both hitting .378 on the last day. They played against each other that day, Manush for the St. Louis Browns and Goslin for the Senators, and the hitting title was at stake when Goslin went to bat in the ninth inning. "Bucky Harris, my manager, left it up to me whether to bat or win the title sitting down," Goslin recalled. He decided to sit down, was goaded into going to the plate, tried to get ejected from the game and finally got "a lucky hit" to beat out Manush by a fraction. In the 1933 World Series, in which the New York Giants defeated the Senators, four games to one, Manush, who had hit .336 during the season, got only two hits. However, he made history of sorts by being ejected from the fourth game by umpire Charlie Moran. He was the first player thrown out of a series game since Ray Schalk was evicted in 1919, and went only under pressure after the umpire called him out on a close play at first base. Manush refused to leave, even taking his position in left field, before he finally was shooed away. The baseball commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, decreed that he would have to be consulted thereafter before any player could be banished from a World Series.
