Harvey Hendrick
Portrait of Harvey Hendrick, outfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies. Diamond Stars series. Printed on front: "Harvey Hendrick." Printed on back: "Diamond Stars, no. 41. Outfielders must be almost as sure as infielders in handling ground hits. Nothing is so damaging as a grounder that trickles through an outfielder's legs and goes rolling merrily toward the fence while the baserunners scamper around the paths. Do as Harvey Hendrick of the Phila. Nationals, who is a fine first baseman as well as an outfielder, used to do. Practice as an infielder at every opportunity watching the ball on each bounce up to the instant it hits your glove. This may seem difficult, but you will soon be able to keep the ball in view, even when it is close up and moving fast. Only poor, or inexperienced fielders kneel down to stop grounders. Austen Lake, Boston American. Harvey L. Hendrick. Born Mason, Tenn., Nov. 18, 1897; bats left, throws right; height 5 ft. 10 inches. Batted .293 in 1934. One of 240 major league players with playing tips. [Copyright] 1935, National Chicle Co., Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A."
