He was drafted by the @Yankees in 1929, but they already had Lou Gehrig at first, so he declined and went to NYU for a semester, then signed with the @tigers he played in a single @mlb game in 1930 then spent some time in the minors.

In 1933 he returned to the MLB and hit .301 with 87 RBIs... And was 3rd in the league in strikeouts. In 1934, he led the league in doubles and extra base hits while hitting .339. He also caused a stir, when late in the season he announced he would sit out two games in September.
