As a big league hitter, Powell had three hits — all doubles — in 17 at bats (owing to the fact that he played mostly in the American League, during the designated hitter era), for a .176 batting average. The fact that all three of Powell’s hits were two-baggers ties him with Earl Hersh and Verdo Elmore for the most hits in a major league career in which all the player’s hits were doubles.
