Paul Radford

Paul Revere "Shorty" Radford
Batted: Right

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 148 lbs.
Born: October 14, 1861 in Roxbury, MA

Despite his unexceptional batting average, Paul's speed on the basepaths and patience at the plate made him an impact player. With Dave Orr absent for much of the 1887 season, Radford slipped ahead of him and nabbed the Mets' Hitter of the Year award for that campaign. His Old Judge card is pictured here, courtesy of the Library of Congress.
