About Mickey Cochrane
Mickey Cochrane's 1976 card is #348, part of the All-Time All-Stars subset, and shows him with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1969, during baseball's centennial, he was named the greatest catcher of all time on the All-Time Team. With the A's he caught Lefty Grove through a 16-game winning streak in 1931. In 1932 he became the first major league catcher to score 100 runs and drive in 100 in the same season.
Mickey Cochrane caught for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1925 to 1933 and for the Detroit Tigers from 1934 to 1937, and his .320 career average is the highest of any catcher. He reached the majors after batting .333 for Portland of the Pacific Coast League in 1924 and became Connie Mack's starting catcher as a rookie, hitting .331. He won the American League MVP award in 1928 and again in 1934, and caught in the World Series for Philadelphia in 1929, 1930 and 1931, winning the first two. Detroit bought him from Mack and named him player-manager for 1934; the Tigers won 101 games and the pennant that year and beat the Cubs in the 1935 World Series. On May 25, 1937, a pitch from Bump Hadley struck him in the head and ended his playing career at 34. He managed Detroit into 1938 with a 348-250 record. He finished with 1,652 hits and 119 home runs and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1947.
