Cravath Clifford Clifford "Gavvy" Cravath was a right-fielder, and played primarily for the Philadelphia Phillies. In the seven years from 1913-20 he led the NL in home runs six times; in RBIs, total bases and slugging percentage twice each; and in hits, runs and walks once each. He led the Phillies to their first pennant in the team's 33-year history. However, he played his home games at Baker Bowl, notoriously favorable to batting. Cravath hit 92 homers there but only 25 homers in all his away games. Cravath reportedly picked up his nickname of "Gavvy" by hitting a ball that killed a seagull ("gaviota" in Spanish) in flight.
