The 21-year-old from Herrin, Illinois split the 1910 season between Springfield and Davenport. Business Manager James T. Hayes paid $500 to get Chapman from Springfield in late July 1910. In 1911 he led the Three-I League in stolen bases with 50, scored 75 runs, and had 151 hits in 516 at-bats for a batting average of .293. He left Davenport for the Toledo Mud Hens of the American Association in September 1911 and reported to Cleveland in August 1912. He was considered one of the fastest players in the Major Leagues, able to circle the bases in just 14 seconds. Chapman set the record for sacrifice hits, making 67 in 1917. Sadly, Ray Chapman suffered a fractured skull when he was hit on the head by a pitch thrown by Carl Mays of the New York Americans on August 16, 1920, and died the next day. He was 29 years old. #EYASport #ExploreYourArchive #archivesofinstagram #archiveexplored #specialcollections #davenportlibrary #davenportiowa #quadcities #IowaHistory #qcthatswhere #Baseball #clevelandamericans #threeileague$
