[edit] Biographical Information

Ezra "Salt Rock" Midkiff was the third baseman for the 1913 Yankees. The following year Fritz Maisel had the job, and in 1916 Home Run Baker took over the position.

Midkiff, for his part, was sold to the minor league Baltimore Orioles, where he was a teammate of Babe Ruth before Ruth came to the majors.

Midkiff was nicknamed "Salt Rock" because he was born in a town of that name. He and Dick Midkiff are the two major leaguers with the last name Midkiff.
