Q: This player was an outstanding defensive shortstop but struck out at a higher than average rate. In a 1941 game while playing for the Cincinnati Reds, he fielded 19 balls recording 9 putouts and 10 assists. In 1949, he was part of a Philadelphia Athletics infield that set the record (217) for most double plays in one season. His final year with the A's in 1954 was as the player-manager thus becoming the third and final manager in the Philadelphia A's 54 year history.
Who was he?
