Frank McCormick debuted for the Cincinnati Reds in 1934, and this was the team that he had his greatest success by far.

In the late 1930s and early ’40s, Frank McCormick would emerge as one of the most productive players in MLB.  An All-Star every season from 1938 to 1944, McCormick would help propel the Reds to a World Series win in 1940, a season in which he led the National League in Hits for the third year in a row and would win the coveted MVP Award. 

Batter up! For 2016, the Pre-Integration Era Committee is at the plate for Baseball Hall of Fame evaluations and inductions not being done by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). The Pre-Integration Era covers the period from 1876, when the National League was formed, to 1946, the last year before Major League Baseball became integrated with the introduction of African-American players Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby into, respectively, the National League and American League.
