Even weirder is probably that he got 100 RBI with a .247 BABIP. (His RISP has not been preserved...) And, well, he's called Stalker, not Walker, so unless that ball drops in he will superficially not have a great season.

But that was the last year before the wheels came off on the late-20s machine. They won 86 games, but had a top 3 offense. And I didn't go deep on this, but Stalker seems to have batted either behind Berto or in that #5/#6 area most of the time, and in '29 that still meant batting behind Berto, Nunley or some fast-ish guy, Hereford, and Harenberg, so he could have had fewer chances to plate some guys, really.
