He is regarded by many as the best two-strike hitter of all time and his seemingly effortless fielding ability earned him the nickname of \"The Mechanical Man.\" Sports writers groused that he was too quiet to be a star. Charlie replied that he didn't hit with his mouth. This work follows Gehringer's career from the day a scout spotted him on the sandlots of Michigan in 1923 to his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1949 and into his life after baseball.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46886348882071,"sku":"9780786435746","price":2825.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786435746.webp?v=1770251443","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/charlie-gehringer-a-biography-of-the-hall-of-fame-tigers-second-baseman-9780786435746","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
