Timeline

1544

In his career, Travis had 1544 hits, 665 runs, 657 RBI, 265 doubles, 78 triples, 27 home runs, 402 walks and 23 stolen bases in 1328 games.

1913

Cecil Howell Travis (August 8, 1913 – December 16, 2006) was an American professional baseball player and scout.

1933

He played his entire career in Major League Baseball as a shortstop and third baseman for the Washington Senators from 1933 to 1947, losing four seasons to military service during World War II.

A left-handed batter, he broke in with the Senators in 1933, getting five hits in his first game – joining Fred Clarke as the second player to do so – and batting .302 in 18 games at age 19.

1935

He led the AL with 29 double plays at third base in 1935.

1937

He followed by hitting .318, .317, .344 and .335, playing full-time at shortstop from 1937 to 1939, but the 82-71 1936 team – on which he split time between shortstop and right field – would remain the only winning squad for which he would play regularly.

1938

In 1938 he was named to his first All-Star team, and placed ninth in the AL's MVP voting.

1939

After slipping to a .292 average in 1939 while suffering two cases of the flu, he returned with All-Star seasons in 1940 and 1941, hitting .322 and .359 (second in the AL as Ted Williams batted .406).

In the latter year Travis enjoyed his best overall season with career highs of 101 runs batted in, 106 runs scored, 39 doubles, 19 triples and 7 home runs, along with his league-best 218 hits, and finished sixth in the MVP vote.

1941

He led the American League in hits in 1941 and his career batting average of .314 is a record for American League shortstops, and ranks third among all shortstops behind Honus Wagner (.327) and Arky Vaughan (.318).

Travis was born on a farm in Riverdale, Georgia, the youngest of ten children, and declined a scholarship to Georgia Tech in favor of a scholarship to a baseball training school.

Travis entered the Army in the winter of 1941–42, and spent most of World War II in the United States, playing on military baseball teams.

1944

Sent to Europe in late 1944 while serving in the 76th Infantry Division, he suffered a severe case of frostbite during the Battle of the Bulge, necessitating an operation to prevent amputation of his feet.

Travis received a Bronze Star for his military service.

1945

Although only 31 years old when he returned to baseball, he was not the same player as he had been before the war, and hit .241 in late 1945 and .252 in 1946.

1947

He retired after batting .216 in 74 games in 1947.

One month before his final game, he was honored with "Cecil Travis Night" at Griffith Stadium, with General Dwight D. Eisenhower in attendance.

1956

He was a Senators scout until 1956, and then returned to his family farm.

1975

He was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1975.

2006

He died at his home in December 2006 at age 93.

2019

Prior to 2019, it was the last pennant-winning campaign by a Washington team, although Travis did not play in the five-game World Series loss to the New York Giants.

The following year he began to take over third base duties from veteran Ossie Bluege, and batted .319 as the team plummeted to seventh place.
