GEORGE "SPECS" TOPORCER - Inducted in 1989 Toporcer spent seven seasons in a Rochester uniform from 1928-34, including three years as a player-manager. In 880 games, he established club records with 113 stolen bases and 628 runs scored. A two- time league MVP, Toporcer hit 10 or more home runs seven times, including 31 in 1929 and 21 in 1930. In 1929, he was the second baseman for an infield that turned 225 double plays, more than any team in Minor League or Major League history. He was forced to retire from baseball in 1934 when he lost his eyesight. Coming soon. |
