Thomas David Henrich, nicknamed "the Clutch" and "Old Reliable," played his entire Major League Baseball career as a right fielder and first baseman for the New York Yankees - 1937–1942 and 1946–1950. Henrich led the American League in triples twice and in runs scored once, also hitting 20 or more home runs four times. He is best remembered for his numerous exploits in the World Series. He was the hitting star of the 1947 Series with a .323 batting average, and hit the first walk off home run in Series history in the first game of the 1949 World Series.
Henrich batted left and threw left. He was signed by the Cleveland Indians in 1934, but was ruled a free agent in April
