Elmer, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1963 was one of the first stars of the fledgling junior circuit, the American
League. In an effort to get instant credibility, the young American League, in 1902, raided the National League
for star players and Elmer was one of their centerpieces. In fact, Elmers defection to the Cleveland Naps (Indians)
was a major reason why the National and American Leagues merged in 1903. Elmer was a power hitter who also hit
for average. He had a penchant for hitting triples (lifetime total of 170), leading the American League 3 times
in that category and set the Major League standard in 1902 by hitting 3 triples in one game.
