Chick King Autographs
Chick King was a professional baseball player who was born in Terre Haute, Indiana on June 21, 1903. He attended the University of Illinois where he played both football and baseball. In 1925, he signed with the Chicago Cubs and began his professional baseball career. Over the next four years, King established himself as a versatile player who could handle multiple positions on the diamond. He was known for his speed, agility, and strong throwing arm. In 1929, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates where he played for three seasons before being released in 1932.
King's best season came in 1930 when he hit .319 with a .380 on-base percentage and 13 stolen bases. He was known for his ability to hit for average and his speed on the base paths. While he was primarily an outfielder, he also played some infield positions and even pitched in a few games. King's career was cut short due to injury, but he left an indelible mark on the game. He played a total of 546 games over seven seasons, hitting .292 with 40 stolen bases and 197 runs scored. He also had a .971 fielding percentage and contributed to several highlight-reel plays throughout his career.
After his baseball career ended, King returned to Terre Haute where he became a prominent businessman and civic leader. He owned and operated several successful businesses including a car dealership, a hotel, and a restaurant. He was also actively involved in the community and served as a director of the local Chamber of Commerce. Chick King passed away on January 25, 1975, but his legacy as a baseball player and community leader lives on. He was inducted into the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990, and his contributions to the game of baseball continue to be remembered and celebrated to this day.
