[edit] Biographical Information

Dode Paskert batted cleanup in each game of the 1918 World Series for the 1918 Chicago Cubs. In the 1915 World Series he batted third in each game for the 1915 Philadelphia Phillies.

For some reason, the similarity scores method picks mostly players who didn't hit as well as Paskert, except for John Titus who hit better. Paskert and Titus were teammates in 1911 and 1912.

Paskert was highly-respected for his defensive abilities in center field.

As a teen, he played for the same neighborhood club as Jimmy Austin.

In 1907, before coming to the majors, he played on a league-championship Atlanta club, leading the league with 6 homers. The team, and Paskert, made the cover of a 1908 Sporting Life issue on March 28.

SABR has a biography of him.
