}}William Edward Kamm (February 2, 1900 – December 21, 1988) was an American professional baseball player.[1] He played as a third baseman in Major League Baseball from {{Baseball year|1923}} to {{Baseball year|1935}}.[1] Kamm played most of his career for the Chicago White Sox before finishing his playing days with the Cleveland Indians.[1] He was the dominant defensive third baseman in the American League for most of his career.[2] Major league careerBorn in San Francisco, California, Kamm was the first player in major league baseball history to be contracted from the minor leagues for $100,000.[2] He made his major league debut at the age of 23 with the Chicago White Sox in 1923, hitting 39 doubles with 89 runs batted in.[1] He increased his runs batted in total to 93 in 1924, and led American League third basemen in putouts, assists and fielding percentage.[3] Kamm had his best season offensively in 1928 when he posted a .308 batting average along with 84 runs batted in. He finished fifth in the {{Baseball year|1928}} American League Most Valuable Player Award voting, despite the fact that the White Sox finished the year in fifth place.[4] He was traded to the Cleveland Indians in the middle of the 1931 season, where he continued to perform well in the field.[5] In {{Baseball year|1933}}, Kamm set a single-season record for third basemen with a .984 fielding percentage, which stood for fourteen years until it was surpassed by Hank Majeski in {{Baseball year|1947}}.[6] He retired as a player after the 1935 season. Kamm was considered a master of the hidden ball trick.[7] On April 30, {{Baseball year|1929}}, in a game against the Cleveland Indians, Kamm was involved in a rare triple play that involved a hidden ball trick.[8] The Indians had baserunners on second and third bases when Carl Lind grounded out to the shortstop, who then threw to first base to retire the batter. Johnny Hodapp, who had been the baserunner on second base, erroneously thought the runner on third base, Charlie Jamieson had scored, so he advanced to third base on the ground out. Kamm retrieved the ball from the first baseman and tagged both runners at third base, whereupon the umpire ruled Hodapp out. Kamm then hid the ball under his arm and waited for Jamieson to step off the base. When he did so, Kamm tagged him out to complete the triple play.[9] Career statisticsIn a thirteen-year major league career, Kamm played in 1,693 games, accumulating 1,643 hits in 5,851 at bats for a .281 career batting average along with 29 home runs and 826 runs batted in.[1] At the time of his retirement, only Heinie Groh had a higher career fielding percentage among retired major league third basemen, and as of {{Baseball year|2010}}, his .967 career fielding percentage is the 15th highest by a third baseman in major league baseball history.[10] Kamm led the league in fielding average eight times, including six times in a row, and in putouts seven times.[11] Kamm still holds the American League single-season record for putouts by a third baseman with 243 set in {{Baseball year|1928}}, and ranks eighth overall in putouts by third basemen.[12][13] He also led American League third basemen four times in assists and twice in range factor.[1] Kamm is one of only 18 players in major league baseball history to have more than 60 runs batted in during a season, without hitting a home run.[14] He is the only player to have ever accomplished the feat twice, with 62 runs batted in during the 1926 season, and 75 runs batted in during the 1931 season.[14] Sabermetrician Bill James, in his baseball reference book The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, noted that after trading Willie Kamm, the Chicago White Sox did not stabilize the third base position until 1989—a period of 58 years. Career as managerAfter his retirement as a player, Kamm became the manager of the Mission Reds in the Pacific Coast League from {{Baseball year|1936}} to {{Baseball year|1937}}.[15] Kamm died at age 88 in Belmont, California.[16] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 [https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kammwi01.shtml Willie Kamm at Baseball Reference] 2. ^1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=7TEDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59&lpg=PA59&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=MQAWYHrCGP&sig=5mKkI7ZwP0W8g-4hLcWKYG2wX-4&hl=en&ei=OZhWTOelB4K78gb8zsHABA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CCsQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q&f=false In Kamm's Day - And Now, by Jack McDonald, Baseball Digest, March 1966, Vol. 25, No. 2], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 3. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/1924-fielding-leaders.shtml 1924 American League Fielding Leaders at Baseball Reference] 4. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1928.shtml#ALmvp 1928 American League Most Valuable Player Award voting results at Baseball Reference] 5. ^Willie Kamm Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac 6. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/fielding_perc_3b_season.shtml Single-Season Leaders & Records for Fielding Percentage as Third Baseman at Baseball Reference] 7. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=ISwDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA49&lpg=PA49&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=-2tZpi_gMU&sig=opO2USN7Fu4SzO-dw5Ks1yj_5sk&hl=en&ei=n51WTLfLOMT58AabrYTgBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CCQQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q&f=false Kamm-ouflage!, by Edgar Munzel, Baseball Digest, November 1956, Vol. 15, No. 10], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 8. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=XiwDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA63&lpg=PA63&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=Sy5UC929Nr&sig=wEjX2B57FIIkf9zKSYzSsCRAMGw&hl=en&ei=n51WTLfLOMT58AabrYTgBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q&f=false The Old Kamm-ouflage, by Gordon Cobbledick, Baseball Digest, November 1949, Vol. 8, No. 11], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 9. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=2zADAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=V8GLTi5XTv&sig=eKQm4u925C6R-EGEIWC5YWoLVqs&hl=en&ei=OZhWTOelB4K78gb8zsHABA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CCAQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=willie%20kamm%20baseball%20digest&f=false Baseball Digest, June 2005, Vol. 64, No. 4], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 10. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/fielding_perc_3b_career.shtml Career Leaders in Fielding Percentage by Third Basemen at Baseball Reference] 11. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=WSsDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=Z0opshWf0W&sig=gMevC9BUm155tI-gaZ_RKiQNYh0&hl=en&ei=iaFWTJilCoK88gbxpKmSBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=willie%20kamm%20baseball%20digest&f=false Baseball Digest, August 2002, Vol. 61, No. 8], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 12. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/PO_3b_season.shtml Single-Season Records for Putouts by Third Basemen at Baseball Reference] 13. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/PO_3b_career.shtml Career Leaders for Putouts by Third Basemen at Baseball Reference] 14. ^1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=2y0DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=willie+kamm+baseball+digest&source=bl&ots=UZL9itEuO6&sig=T7ZzSh7Y7wphMpgFnCxN5VFCPYU&hl=en&ei=n51WTLfLOMT58AabrYTgBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBEQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=willie%20kamm%20baseball%20digest&f=false Baseball Digest, May 2006, Vol. 65, No. 3], {{ISSN|0005-609X}} 15. ^[https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=kamm--001wil#standard_managing Willie Kamm Minor League manager record at Baseball Reference] 16. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/24/obituaries/willie-kamm-baseball-player-88.html Willie Kamm Obituary at The New York Times, December 24, 1988] External links{{Baseballstats|br=k/kammwi01}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Kamm, Willie}} 11 : Major League Baseball third basemen|Sportspeople from San Francisco|Baseball players from California|Chicago White Sox players|Cleveland Indians players|Sacramento Senators players|San Francisco Seals (baseball) players|Mission Reds players|Minor league baseball managers|1900 births|1988 deaths |
