biography
Heinie Manush made his American League debut on April 20, 1923 as an outfielder with the Detroit Tigers . With the Tigers, however, he was overshadowed by Ty Cobb and Harry Heilmann . In his first year he came up with an average of 33.4%. He had his strongest year with the Tigers in 1926. He achieved a batting average of 37.8%. With Babe Ruth he fought for the title of best batsman , which was only decided on the last day of the season. In a double header on September 26th, Manush scored six hits with nine chances of beating and was able to leave Ruth, who had a batting average of 37.2%, behind. In 1928 he moved to the St. Louis Browns and came back to 37.8% in this category, but had to be satisfied with second place behind Goose Goslin of the Washington Senators .
In 1930 Manush joined the Washington Senators. In 1933 he led the Senators to their last World Series participation with the help of his achievements . However, they were clearly defeated by the New York Giants with 1: 4 games. In game four, Manush made baseball history by becoming the first player to ever be expelled from the field in a World Series game. The referee evaluated an action by Manush with a strike, which resulted in the player being eliminated. Manush protested violently, pulled on the umpire's bow tie, which was fastened with a rubber band, and buckled it back. Manush was then expelled from the field.
After Washington, Manush played with the Boston Red Sox , the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates , where he played his last major league game on May 22, 1939.
In 1964, Manush was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee . He died in Sarasota, Florida in 1971 at the age of 69.
