Kiki Cuyler
Hazen Shirley Cuyler (/ˈkaɪˈkaɪ ˈkaɪlər/; August 30, 1898 – February 11, 1950), nicknamed "Kiki", was an American professional baseball right fielder.He played in Major League Baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1921 until 1938.[5] After school Cuyler attended West Point for three months[6] until he moved back to Michigan to work at a Buick Motors assembly plant in Flint.Later that year in August, Cuyler hit two inside-the-park home runs in a single game at Baker Bowl, the very compact baseball stadium in Philadelphia.[21] The middle of the season was a turning point for Cuyler and the team, when on August 11, Babe Adams, Carson Bigbee and team captain and Hall of Famer Max Carey voted in a petition to remove vice president Fred Clarke from games.[1] In his third full season Cuyler led the league in stolen bases, runs scored and finished with a .321 batting average.[23][26][27] That November, Cuyler was traded to the Chicago Cubs for infielder Sparky Adams and outfielder Pete Scott.He suffered an ankle injury[1] which caused him to only hit .285, although he did lead the league in stolen bases for the second time in his career.During the 1928 season, Cuyler formed a quartet with teammates Cliff Heathcote and Hall of Famers Gabby Hartnett and Hack Wilson.[3] With a career year from Hack Wilson, who set a major league record with 191 RBI, the Cubs could not manage to win the pennant and were behind the St. Louis Cardinals two games at the end of the season.In the bottom of the ninth inning, with two outs, down 5–4 against the Giants, Cuyler singled home the tying run, which raised his hit total to 4 for the game.[1] After the end of his playing career, Cuyler managed in the minor leagues, winning the regular-season Southern Association pennant in 1939 under Joe Engel with the Chattanooga Lookouts, with one of the only fan-owned franchises in the nation.[40] His 228 hits and 155 runs scored in 1930 were second most in Cubs history,[41] and his 50 doubles that year set a team record.Hall of Famer Joe Cronin said of Cuyler, "He was one of the finest and cleanest living fellows I ever met in baseball.
