HOFer Duffy was one of the finest 19th century hitters, playing from 1888 to 1901. He's a lifetime .326 hitter over 7,800 plate appearances. Nobody had more hits, HRs or RBI in the decade of the 1890s. In 1894, a year after the mound was moved to 60'6", and the year they began not counting ABs for sacrifice bunts, Duffy smacked 237 hits in 539 at bats for an astonishing .440 average, still the highest single season big league total ever recorded. He spent 68 years in the game, from player, coach and manager, to executive and team owner. Here, in 1911, he was managing the Chicago White Sox. Due to the eras in which he played, there are relatively few Duffy cards. This one grades 1 PR by PSA.
