Cullop was a good-fielding, power-hitting outfielder who set the minor league career record with 1857 RBI. In the best of his several ML trials, he hit eight homers in 104 games for Cincinnati in 1931; he also struck out 84 times to lead the league. He was TSN Minor League Manager of the Year in 1943 with Columbus and in 1947 with Milwaukee (both in the American Association). (LRD)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » September 6, 1931: The visiting Cardinals tighten their hold on first place by shutting out the Reds twice, winning 3–0 and 7–0. Flint Rhem allows three hits in the opener to beat Si Johnson, then Syl Johnson wins the nitecap over Larry Benton. The Reds are credited with a triple play in the 2nd inning of game 2, going from LF Nick Cullop to C Lena Styles to 3B Joe Stripp to 2B Tony Cuccinello. Cooch's last out is a hidden ball trick and since the ball is never returned to the pitcher, a triple play is recorded.
