Poor Francis Phelan. Once he was something like "the Natural," an infielder for the Washington Senators, good glove man, top-of-the-lineup smile, tough as Ty Cobb sliding into second with his spikes flaring at the shortstop's groin. When baseball stardom eluded Francis, he tried being a husband to Annie -- best kisser in Albany -- and a father to Billy and Peg. That didn't work out either, so he hit the road and fell into the arms of Helen Archer, a singer who became a sod. There was some trouble with the law too: that scab...

In fact, Boggs is currently the fourth-best hitter of all time with his career mark of .352 entering the 1987 campaign. The three hitters ahead of him just happen to be Ty Cobb (.367), Rogers Horns by (.358), and Joe Jackson (.356). Obviously, there are many American League pitchers Boggs loves to hit against, but if the Chicken Man were to face this one veteran hurler everyday, he would have a good chance of hitting close to .500.
