1929 R316, Kashin Publication ⭐ Hack Wilson
Hack Wilson was only 5'6", weighing 190 pounds (when he was 15 years-old 😂).
His 1929 season was the start of arguably the greatest 2-year power surge of any player.
In 1929, Hack hit .345, with 39 HRs, and 159 RBIs, finishing runner-up for N.L. MVP.

His nickname, "Hack," reportedly came from his boyhood resemblance to wrestler George Hackenschmidt, which teammates shortened to "Hack."
This is an amazing nugget based Hackenschmidt's fame.
President Theodore Roosevelt was quoted "If I were not President of the United States, I wish I were George Hackenschmidt."
