WHO IS Jack Tobin?

The right fielder in one of baseball’s greatest outfields, with Ken Williams and Baby Doll Jacobson for the Browns in the 1920s. Only four batters have ever had as many as 57 hits in a 25-game span: Ty Cobb, George Sisler, Ichiro Suzuki, and Jack Tobin (in 1921).
In the late summer of 1921, Tobin had 66 hits in 50 games, batting .489 in that stretch. Only two players in history (Ichiro Suzuki and Ty Cobb) have had more hits in a 50-game span.
