Bennett was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 17, 1927, with the Boston Red Sox, and his Major League Baseball stats for every season he played, along with his career totals are on this page.
FrankBennett's biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable) career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this FrankBennett baseball statistics page.
Bennett was by this time an established novelist: Harris must surely have been flattered by his praise.
Bennett was a natural writer to whom literary composition came easily, a good-natured and amiable man, a Fabian socialist; Harris found writing hard - surprisingly so, considering the size of his output - and was an agitated, forceful individual, politically inconsistent but given to outbursts of radicalism.
Bennett responded that although "in certain moods" he agreed with Frank's criticism, he felt that as "a fully equipped artist" he should be able to "take a Pentonville omnibus and show it to be fine".
