WHO WAS WILLIE KEELER AND WHAT WAS HIS MOST FAMOUS QUOTE?
Posted on: January 10, 2012
Here’s something in the little-known fact department. Willie Keeler was an old major league baseball player who played from 1892 – 1910 and is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. His last year in the majors was spent with the New York Giants. He was the smallest man ever to play major league baseball (some say he was 5’4″) and used the smallest bat in the history of major league baseball. He was sometimes called “Wee Willie.” When he was once asked “What’s the secret of hitting” he replied: “Hit ’em where they ain’t.”
