Summary
English: Harry Sterling "Fighting Harry" Wolverton ( December 6, 1873 - February 4, 1937) was a third baseman who played for the Chicago Orphans, Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Senators, Boston Beaneaters, and New York Highlanders. He was considered a power hitter in his day, and he tied a major league record in 1900 by hitting three triples in one game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. At the end of the season, he was struck in the head by a pole beside the Philadelphia streetcar tracks, fracturing his skull. Amazingly, he recovered and his numbers didn't drop off. After a short stint with the Senators, he returned to third base for the Phillies, but in 1904, he was traded to the Boston Beaneaters, where he would play for one season before taking an extended hiatus from baseball.
