Julius Joseph "Moose" Solters (born Julius Joseph Soltesz; March 22, 1906 – September 28, 1975) was an American professional baseball outfielder who played in Major League Baseball between 1934 and 1943.
Career
[edit | edit source]Solters played nine seasons in the American League, for four different teams; the Boston Red Sox (125 games), St. Louis Browns (319 games), Cleveland Indians (260 games), and Chicago White Sox (234 games). During his major league career, he appeared in a total of 938 games, batting .289 with 83 home runs and 599 RBIs. He hit for the cycle on August 19, 1934, while with the Red Sox.[1][2]
On August 2, 1941, while playing for Chicago at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., Solters was struck by an errant baseball during a pregame warmup.[3][4] The thrown ball fractured his skull and has been attributed to his going blind two years later.[5][6] Solters died in 1975 in his hometown of Pittsburgh, and is buried in Calvary Cemetery there.
