Eddie Moore (baseball)

Graham Edward Moore (January 18, 1899 – February 10, 1976) was an American professional baseball player who played second base and outfield from 1923 to 1934 in the Major Leagues.

[2] He injured his shoulder on May 8, but was forced back into the lineup at less than full strength after only a few days of rest because the father of his backup, Johnny Rutledge, had died unexpectedly.

[3] Moore was sold to the Boston Braves in 1926, after a confrontation with Fred Clarke, who was then working as the Pirates' assistant manager and head of scouting.

[5] (Prior to the 1931 season, a ball that bounced from the field of play into the outfield stands was considered a home run.)

Moore helped lead the New Orleans Pelicans to a Southern Association championship in 1933, batting .309 as the team's starting shortstop.
