1934 Goudey #70 Pete Fox
About Pete Fox
Ervin "Pete" Fox entered pro ball with Detroit's Evansville Hubs in 1929 and got his call in 1933, debuting as the Tigers' regular center fielder before shifting to right field the next season — the Tigers uniform captured on his rookie card, #70 in this 1934 Goudey set. The nickname traced to 1932 at Beaumont, where fans dubbed the speedy outfielder "Rabbit," a tag that grew into "Peter Rabbit" and settled into "Pete." That October he set a major-league record with six doubles in the 1934 World Series, then turned the tables in 1935, batting .385 against the Cubs as Detroit's hitting star in a championship season. Fox hit .300 or better five times — including .331 in 1937 — and closed his Tigers-Red Sox career (1933–1945) with a .298 average, 65 home runs and 694 RBIs, adding a 1944 All-Star selection with Boston once wartime call-ups opened right field for him. He then managed and scouted in the minor leagues until cataracts ended his baseball career in the early 1950s, and was posthumously inducted into the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980.
