[edit] Biographical Information

Erve Beck came up at age 20 in 1899, but played most of his games in 1901 with the Cleveland Blues, the first year that the American League was a major league. He was the regular second baseman for the team, hitting .289 and showing quite a bit of power with 6 homers. Those 6 home runs were especially important because the team as a whole had only 12 home runs for all of 1901, and Beck's 6 were half of that total.
