[edit] Biographical Information
Hal Rhyne broke in as a second baseman with the 1926 Pittsburgh Pirates, and then converted to shortstop for the bulk of his career with the Boston Red Sox. In 1931, the year that teammate Earl Webb hit a record-breaking 67 doubles, Webb was # 6 in the MVP voting while Rhyne was # 14.
As of 2006, Rhyne is one of only two major leaguers to have been born in Paso Robles, CA, a town roughly midway between Los Angeles, CA and San Francisco, CA.
