He is famously the last player to hit over .400 in a season, batting .406 in 1941, and won two American League Triple Crowns. An obsessive student of hitting, he also served as a decorated Marine combat aviator in both World War II and the Korean War, losing nearly five prime seasons to military service.

He retired in 1960,
