Ray Schalk - C - Chicago White Sox (1912-1928)

After moving up to the mound for a possible cutoff play, White Sox catcher Ray Schalk continues to second base and takes a throw from first baseman Chick Gandil to double up Browns baserunner Ray Demmitt, who failed retouch second base, attempting to get back to first. The play makes the 26-year-old future Hall of Famer the first catcher to make a putout at every single base, a feat that will not be accomplished again until on the same date in 1964 when Johnny Rosboro tags Willie Mays out in a rundown play when the outfielder tries to steal second.

Ray Schalk – C (Chicago White Sox) – elected in 1955 by the Veteran’s Committee.
