About Kiki Cuyler

Hazen Shirley Cuyler died 18 years before his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but the player nicknamed "Kiki" posted achievements on the diamond far too great to be obscured by history.

Cuyler was born Aug. 30, 1898, in Harrisville, Mich. And for nearly half of his 51 years, Cuyler was one of Major League Baseball's greatest hitters.

“Cuyler can hit, run, field and throw with the best of 'em,” said broadcaster Fred Hoey.
