Artie Moher 1945 1947, and Moher was Yale’s starting shortstop; he was named the outstanding shortstop in the 1948 College World Series. In hockey, he was Yale’s starting center from 1946 to 1948, ranking as high-scorer in 1947 and 1948. In both seasons, he scored more than 40 points. He led the team as captain his junior year.
Arthur K. Moher excelled in two sports—hockey and baseball. It is of note, however, that he achieved a varsity letter in football: for one year Coach Stephen Sorota used him as a drop kick specialist. Moher earned four varsity letters in both hockey and baseball and was captain of both teams for two years. As a senior, he led his undefeated hockey team to victory over St. Paul’s on their home ice in Concord, N.H., the first time any prep school team had done so. Moher served as class president for three years, was a member of the student council for four years, and was elected student council president his senior year.
In 1948, he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers and played baseball for their AA team in 1948 and their AAA team in 1949. At that point, he decided to retire from baseball. Moher enjoyed a successful 43-year career as a yarn sales agent, eventually becoming the owner of his own company, Moher Associates.
At Yale he played both varsity baseball and hockey. The first-ever College World Series took place in
