Larry Doyle was above average in almost every category and put together a monster 1912 campaign which saw him win the 1911 MVP. Although he had many very good seasons, his three World Series appearances were less than stellar and he failed to lead his team to any championship. Had he kept to the standards he set from April to September, it could be imagined that Larry Doyle would have been a serious Hall of Fame candidate, as opposed to the remote possibility he is today. He famously quipped that it “was good to be young and a Giant”….it would have been better to be labeled as immortal.
