You look at him after the game and he's always dirty. That's the kind of a guy a manager would like to have on his club.
"Joseph Robert Cunningham, Jr." is a former Major League Baseball first baseman and left-handed batter who played for the St. Louis Cardinals (-), Chicago White Sox (1962–1964), and Texas Rangers (baseball)/Washington Senators (1964–1966).
The best season for Cunningham was in 1959, when he batted .345 to finish second to Hank Aaron for the National League batting title. He finished his career with a .291 batting average over 1,141 games spread over a 12-year career.
Cunningham was traded from the Cardinals to the White Sox after the 1961 season in exchange for long-time star Minnie Miñoso. Although his first season as the White Sox first baseman was successful, Cunningham would never fully recover from a broken collarbone suffered in a collision on June 3, .
His son, also named Joe, worked as a coach (baseball)/batting instructor in the Cardinals' farm system.
More Joe Cunningham on Wikipedia.One pitch was low, and it would have been a 3-1 count. Instead, it was a strike. This guy is throwing 98 mph and changing speeds on him. And he battled and smoked that ball off the right-field wall.
We probably could play him at first (base); he just wouldn't be a very big target to hit.
Cody, he's the type of guy, no matter what, he's going to work his rear end off. He wanted to get off to a good start and might have been trying a little too hard.
I don't care if you've been drafted No. 1 or signed as a free agent. You're going to get out of the game what you put into it. His commitment level is very high. I can tell he's on a mission.
He's Mike McCoy, his own player. He's trying to be himself.
