Wickey McAvoy

Wickey McAvoy was a professional baseball player born in 1894, who played as a position player from 1913 to 1919. Over the course of his career, he appeared in 235 games, recording 134 hits, including one home run, and driving in 53 runs. McAvoy finished his career with a batting average of .199 and successfully stole six bases. His contributions to his teams, particularly during the early years of the 20th century, came during a time when baseball was transitioning into a more modern era. Playing primarily in the shadow of the deadball era, McAvoy's career was characterized by the emphasis on speed and small ball tactics rather than power hitting, which is reflected in his limited home run total. Despite his low batting average, McAvoy's role as a reliable team player helped to solidify his presence on the field. While he may not have been a star player, his dedication and contributions to his teams during a formative time in Major League Baseball history remain noteworthy.
