Joseph Wheeler Sewell (October 9, 1898 – March 6, 1990) was a Major League Baseball infielder for the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://baseballhall.org/hof/sewell-joe )〕 Sewell holds the record for the lowest strikeout rate in major league history, striking out on average only once every 63 at-bats, and the most consecutive games without a strikeout, at 115. ==Career== Born in Titus, Alabama, Sewell lettered in college football at the University of Alabama in 1917, 1918, and 1919.〔(Entry at Paul W. Bryant Museum )〕 He led the school baseball team to four conference titles before joining the minor league New Orleans Pelicans in 1920, where he played a partial season before being called up to the "big league".〔 Sewell made his major league debut mid-season in 1920 with the World Series champion Cleveland Indians shortly after shortstop Ray Chapman was killed by a pitch from the Yankees’ Carl Mays in August and became the team's full-time shortstop the following year.〔 An emerging star, Sewell batted .318 with 101 runs, 93 RBI and a .412 on-base percentage in 1921.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/seweljo01.shtml )〕 Sewell's patience and daily work ethic became his hallmarks over the following decade and a half. Playing with Cleveland until 1930 and the New York Yankees from 1931 to 1933, Sewell batted .312 with 1,141 runs, 1,055 RBI, 49 home runs and a .391 on-base percentage. He regularly scored 90 or more runs a season and twice topped the 100 RBI plateau. He hit a career high 11 home runs in 1932.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Sewell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
