Ray Morehart

Who was Ray Morehart?

Raymond Anderson Morehart was an American major league baseball player.

Born in Terrell, Texas, Morehart attended Austin College and played two seasons for the Chicago White Sox before being traded for infielder Aaron Ward in January 1927; Morehart was therefore a member of the 1927 New York Yankees, a team often considered the greatest ever. As a rookie with Chicago, Morehart set a record with nine hits during a doubleheader.

Morehart died in Dallas, Texas on January 13, 1989. He was one of the last surviving players to have played with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
