Who is this legendary center fielder?

I was born -- with an operatic first name and an oratorical last name -- on April 4, 1888, in Hubbard, Texas.

I was known by two nicknames throughout my 22-year playing career: the Grey Eagle and Spoke.

As a youngster, I fell from a horse and broke my right arm, forcing me to start throwing left-handed, which I continued to do even after my right arm healed.

I made my major league debut with the Boston Americans (later Red Sox) in 1907. I stayed in Beantown through the 1915 season, helping the Red Sox to two World Series titles as part of the "Million Dollar Outfield" with Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper.

Following a salary dispute after the 1915 season, I was traded to the Cleveland Indians, where, in 1916, I hit .386. Take that, Lannin! (Boston's owner)

In the tragic 1920 season in which teammate Ray Chapman died after being hit in the head by a pitch, I -- as player-manager -- led the Indians to their first World Series title.

I retired in 1928 and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1937.

I died on Dec. 8, 1958, in Lake Whitney, Texas, at age 70.
