Lewis Robert "Hack" Wilson was born in Pennsylvania on this day in 1900. He died in 1948.
Hack, as he was known, broke with the Giants in 1923 but blossomed with the Cubs in 1926.
In fact, he hit 190 HR with 769 RBI in 850 games. He led the NL in RBI with 159 in 1929 & 191 in 1930.
His stats with the Cubs were awesome.
In 1979, the Veterans Committee selected Hack Wilson to the Hall of Fame.
