[edit] Biography

Pinky Higgins (Michael Franklin Higgins) was born on May 27, 1909 in Red Oak, Texas. He made his Major League debut on June 25, 1930 for the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1933, his rookie year, he hit .314 with 13 home runs and 99 RBI. Higgins played for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers over the course of his 14 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Pinky Higgins's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1933, when he hit for a .314 average and knocked in 99 runs. However, others believe that it was 1934, when he slugged 16 home runs, hit for a .330 average and knocked in 90 runs.
