Ray SCHALK (HOF)

Biography

John J. McGraw says: “I feel rather sure that my choice of Ray Schalk for All-American League catcher will meet with the approval of the players in that league. I have talked with a number of them and it seems to be the general opinion that he stands out. Personally I am quite familiar with his catching and I regard him as the best backstop the American League has ever produced. Schalk has all the qualifications that go to make the perfect catcher, or as near to it as we can get.”
