Since I'd never heard of Billy Jurges before, I decided to find out something about him.
From Baseball Almanac.
In 1932, the year he was shot, these are Jurges' stats:
It was his second year in the pros and second with the Cubs.
115 games, 396 ABs, 40 runs, 100 hits, 24 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs.52 RBIs and batted .253.
He was with the Cibs from 1921-1938, the New York Giants 1939-1945, and finished his career back with the Cubs 1946-1947.
Had a career .258 batting average, 721 runs, 43 home runs and 656 RBIs.. His best year was 1937 with the Cubs when he batted .298 with 114 hits.
And, He Led the League in Getting Shot in 1932. --DaDuckNextTime
