Books and articles about Jack Warhop

Called "Chief" because his surname sounded like "war hoop" and "Crab" for his disposition, Warhop still holds the Yankee season record for hit batsmen (26). Perhaps most famous for giving up Babe Ruth's first home run (in 1915), he is also one of the few pitchers ever to steal home twice. (JK)
