Richard Benjamin Lundy (July 10, 1898[3] shortstop in the Negro leagues for numerous teams. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida .
In 1921 , his batting average was reportedly .484. Lundy became the player-manager of the Bacharach Giants from 1925 through 1928, leading the team to two Eastern Colored League pennants (1926, 1927). In the 1926 Colored World Series , Lundy had six RBIs , four runs scored , and six stolen bases . The Giants, however, lost the series. Lundy made one appearance in the East-West All-Star Game , playing shortstop for the East. By this point, he had become part of what was called the "million dollar infield", along with Oliver Marcell , Frank Warfield , and Jud Wilson , playing for the Baltimore Black Sox in 1929 . His career was often compared to that of Joe Cronin .
At age 54, Lundy received votes listing him on the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier [4]
Lundy remained in baseball around 33 years, finishing out his baseball career as a manager. He died at age 63 in Jacksonville after a lingering illness. He was among 39 Negro leagues players, managers, and executives who were considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006, but fell short of the necessary 75% vote. Writer Bill James ranked Lundy as the third-greatest shortstop in Negro league history, behind John Henry Lloyd and Willie Wells .[5]
