After switching to the heaviest bat in the league in midcareer, Sweeney hit in 31 consecutive games in 1911, and in 1912 his .344 average was third in the NL. A regular infielder at three different positions for the Braves from 1908 to 1913, he was traded back to the Cubs for Johnny Evers before the Braves’ 1914 World Championship season.
