He broke into the Pacific Coast League as third baseman for the San Francisco Seals in 1911. He later advanced to the majors as a utility infielder for the Detroit Tigers. Through his major league career, Vitt played 833 games at 3rd base and 161 games at 2nd base. As the Tigers' regular third baseman from 1915 through 1917, he never batted higher than .254. But he was described as a smart, scrappy baseball man. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg/175px-Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg" decoding="async" width="175" height="213" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg/263px-Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg/350px-Ossie_Vitt_1910.jpeg 2x" data-file-width="641" data-file-height="780" /></a><figcaption>Vitt in 1910</figcaption></figure> <p>Vitt had a career batting average of .238, and was a talented third baseman with range and a good throwing arm. His .960 fielding average in 10 years at 3rd base was 20 points higher than the Major League average for 3rd basemen of his era. He led all American League third basemen in consecutive years (1915 and 1916) in putouts, assists and fielding percentage. He had career highs at third base of 208 putouts (team record at 3B), 385 assists, and 32 double plays in 1916. His range factor of 3.93 in 1916 was 70 points higher than the league average for third basemen. </p><p>While not a good hitter for average, Vitt was a good contact hitter and one of the best bunters of the era—a valuable talent on a Detroit squad that included <a href="/wiki/Ty_Cobb" title="Ty Cobb">Ty Cobb</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sam_Crawford" title="Sam Crawford">Sam Crawford</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Veach" title="Bobby Veach">Bobby Veach</a>. His career total of 259 sacrifice hits (in a relatively short career) ranks 32nd best in major league history. </p><p>Vitt was also one of the toughest players to strike out in MLB history. For his career, he struck out an average of once every 26.6 at bats, 35th best in MLB history. In 1918, his at bat per strikeout ratio was 44.5, 2nd best in the AL. </p><p>On August 10, 1915, Vitt was hit in the head by a <a href="/wiki/Walter_Johnson" title="Walter Johnson">Walter Johnson</a> fastball. After being knocked unconscious for five minutes‚ Vitt left the game with a concussion. Ty Cobb‚ observing Johnson's fear of hitting a batter‚ crowded the plate on Johnson from that point forward. Cobb hit .435 against Johnson after the Vitt incident. </p><p>On July 30, 1917, Cobb‚ Veach‚ and Vitt followed each other in the lineup‚ with each going 5-for-5. </p><p>On January 17, 1919, Vitt was traded by the Tigers to the Boston Red Sox for <a href="/wiki/Eddie_Ainsmith" title="Eddie Ainsmith">Eddie Ainsmith</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chick_Shorten" title="Chick Shorten">Chick Shorten</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Slim_Love" title="Slim Love">Slim Love</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Managerial_Career_and_the_"Cleveland_Crybabies""><span id="Managerial_Career_and_the_.22Cleveland_Crybabies.22"></span>Managerial Career and the "Cleveland Crybabies"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ossie_Vitt&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Managerial Career and the "Cleveland Crybabies""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After playing in the majors for 10 years, Vitt was recommended to Oakland Oaks' owner Victor Devincinzi by the Yankees' management to manage the Oaks in 1935. His style was described as both abrasive and motivational, pushing the Oaks to a third-place finish. </p><p>Vitt moved on in the Yankees' organization the next year, managing their farm team in Newark. He was then hired by the Cleveland Indians in 1938 to replace Steve O'Neil as manager and instill new life into their team. </p><p>Vitt's role in the 1940 Cleveland Indians team known as the "Cleveland Crybabies" has become a baseball legend. "I don't want any lazy players on my club," said Vitt when he was hired. "If the boys won't hustle, out they go." Vitt's players felt they were being accused. In Vitt's first two seasons in Cleveland, the Indians finished third. Yet, there were frequent clashes between Vitt and his players, and the discontent festered. </p><p>On June 11, 1940, matters came to a head when he went to the mound to remove <a href="/wiki/Mel_Harder" title="Mel Harder">Mel Harder</a>. "When are you going to start earning your salary?" asked Vitt of Harder, who had won at least 15 games for eight consecutive seasons, including two 20-win seasons. The team revolted, and many players signed a petition to have Vitt removed. After the incident with Harder, a dozen Indians met with owner <a href="/wiki/Alva_Bradley" title="Alva Bradley">Alva Bradley</a> to state their grievances against Vitt, whom they described as a "wild man." They made it clear they hoped he would be fired. In the closed-door meeting between Indians players and owner, Harder told Bradley: "We think we have a good chance to win the pennant, but we'll never win it with Vitt as manager. If we can get rid of him, we can win. We feel sure about that." Bradley sought to keep the controversy quiet, but the story quickly got out, and newspaper headlines all over the nation referred gleefully to the Indians as the "Cleveland Crybabies." </p><p>Despite the hullabaloo and ridicule, the Indians, with Vitt hanging on to his job, battled the Detroit Tigers for the pennant to the last day of the 1940 season. Through June, the Indians were 42–25. After June, with the "Crybabies" harangue clanging in the papers and from the stands, they went 47–40, not a collapse, but not good enough to stay ahead of the Tigers who won the pennant by a single game over the Tribe. <a href="/wiki/Bob_Feller" title="Bob Feller">Bob Feller</a>, a 27-game winner that year, lost the decisive game 2–0. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3
