| | Arky Vaughan Biography by KL Snow on Baseball Almanac |
 | | Vaughan hit.318, but had an even more impressive.375 OBP in 129 games during his rookie campaign, and with increased playing time in 1933 his numbers improved again, as in 152 games Arky was among the top five in OBP (.388), slugging (.478), OPS (.866), triples (19), RBI (97) and walks (64). |
 | | Vaughan was an All-Star for the last time in 1942, but his offensive numbers don’t look like All-Star material, as his OBP dipped to.348, his slugging was just.341, and he only collected 49 RBI, the second lowest full-season total of his career. |
 | | Vaughan was involved in a dispute with Dodgers manager Leo Durocher during the 1943 season, and while he did finish out the season, he remained on his ranch in California for the start of the 1944 season, supporting the war by farming and avoiding Durocher. |
