Cleveland Indians' all-star third baseman, AL ROSEN has passed away shortly after his 91st birthday.. I'd appreciate members posting his photos or baseball cards. .
Among Rosen's accomplishments were:
10 MLB seasons 1947-1956 and a 6 year career peak (1950-1955).
5 straight 100 RBI seasons (1950-1954).
4 straight selections to the American league all-star team (1952-1955).
3 straight years of hitting .300 or more (1952-1954).
2 seasons with more than 35 home runs (43 & 37)..
1 near Triple Crown in 1953 - led A.L with 43 HR, 145 RBI and trailed Mickey Vernon for the batting title by less than.0017 (.3371 to .3355)..
Three years of WWII Military service delayed his rise to the majors and back injuries speeded his career's end. He was just 32 at retirement.
He was the NY Yankees Asst. GM when they won the '77 & '78 World's championships.
