Ted Kluszewski was a monster in his day.  This was not just in regards to his tape measure Home Runs, but that he was such an imposing physical specimen that he cut off the sleeves of his uniform so that his arms could better move.

Known for his physical strength, Ted Kluszweski famously had to cut the sleeves off of his uniform because they constricted his arms when he swung.  In 1953, “Big Klu” would enter a four year stretch where he blasted at least 35 Home Runs and collected 100 Runs Batted In, the best of which was his 1954 season where the slugger would win the Home Run and RBI Titles with 49 and 141 respectively and was the runner up for the National League MVP.  As a Red he would collect 251 Home Runs with a .302 Batting Average.

He would later be a Coach for CIncinnati, and his number 18 was retired by the team in 1998.  Kluszweski was also enshrined into Cincinnati's Hall of Fame in 1962.
