“One of the reasons I’ve been able to play baseball well is because it’s fun for me,” Chuck Klein said. “Many players find it work.”
For 17 years, Klein excelled at the game he found so much fun. He spent 15 years as the Philadelphia Phillies right fielder where he was an offensive force. He was named National League MVP in 1932 and followed that performance by winning the Triple Crown in 1933. He was also an All-Star in 1933 and 1934.
