The 1915 draft class has to be the weakest yet seen. A few first-rounders late in the round are notable: Urban Shocker, Charlie Grimm, Bucky Harris. But the top 8 picks are pretty weak and for the third time in recent memory, New Orleans got a less than impressive overall #1 with Jing Johnson, who won 24 games in MLB.The Jazzcats have not won more than 82 games since 1903 and have never won a pennant.
You sure don't see this anymore...from SABR: "Grimm was one of baseball’s premier entertainers, and not just for his acrobatic play. He would serenade fans before games with his singing and banjo playing. “In the on-deck circle he might brandish two bats in imitation of a butcher sharpening his knives. He and [Cubs catcher Gabby] Hartnett liked to play ‘burnout’ in front of the fans, advancing up the line and firing the ball toward each other at closer and closer quarters. To the roars of the crowd, he might mimic an umpire’s walk behind his back — an act that at least once earned him an ejection as a manager.”
