Abstract:

Ray Hayworth, a High Point native, spent fifteen years as a major league baseball player with the Detroit Tigers and Brooklyn Dodgers. He started in 1926 and retired as an active player in 1945. One of baseball's best photographs shows Hayworth tagging Babe Ruth out at home plate during a game in 1934. At age 96, Hayworth is the last living teammate of Baseball Hall-of-Famer Ty Cobb.
