Baseball Almanac Top Quote

“(Mule) Haas is a retiring sort of fellow. He never has much to say, but he’s trying all the time. If he’s in a slump, he doesn’t worry. If he’s going good, he doesn’t get overconfident. I’d set him down as a good, steady ball player. Perhaps he’s slowed down a bit, but he still can move around with the best of ‘em in the outfield.” - Al Simmons (1932)

Haas got the nickname "Mule" from sportswriter Zipp Newman of the Birmingham Age Herald in 1925, while playing for the Birmingham Barons. Mule won a game with a home run and the headline in the paper read "Home Run Kick By Mule Haas Wins Game For Barons". (Source: American League Service Bureau Press Release, 12/1/1929)

Jimmy Dykes once said, "From Pittsburgh, he (Connie Mack) obtained Mule Haas, an automated fly catching machine, to play center field. Mule was Mike Drennan's baby. Drennan had scouted Mule in Atlanta, where the finishing touches were being put to him. On Mike’s recommendation, Mr. Mack bought the hard hitting kid and was never sorry for it."
