Nicknamed “Double X”, Jimmie Foxx hit .364, with 58 home runs with 169 RBIs, missing the Triple Crown by just three points in batting average in 1932. Foxx did win the Triple Crown the following season, with a batting average of .356, 163 RBIs, and 48 home runs. He won back-to-back MVP honors in 1932 and 1933. Foxx was one of the most feared sluggers of his era. The great Yankee pitcher Lefty Gomez once said of him, "He has muscles in his hair." He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951.
