Tuck Turner

George A. Turner (February 13, 1867 – July 16, 1945) was an American Major League Baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Browns.

The Phillies were unable to win the pennant, however, as the late 1890s were the peak of the powerful Original Baltimore Orioles and Boston Beaneaters.

[2] By the tail end of 1895 and the beginning of 1896, Turner had lost his batting touch and was traded to St. Louis for Duff Cooley.

[3][4] On October 3, 1897, while playing for St. Louis, Turner accomplished a rare feat by hitting an inside-the-park grand slam.

[citation needed] From 1899 to 1901, Turner played with the Hartford Indians in the Eastern League, replacing the legendary Louis Sockalexis in the field his first season.
