Clarence Mitchell...he had an unspectacular career in the majors and is probably mostly remembered for making 5 outs in two at bats in the 1920 World Series...he is also the last legal spitballer in the majors
I always though Burleigh Grimes was the last legal spitball Pitcher in the Majors

I should have stated "One of the last legal spitballers."

These 2 guys retired right before I started following baseball, but I always thought Bill Buckner and Al Oliver were terribly underrated.

I agree with Sherwood Magee, Joshua. I'd like to see Wildfire Schulte get a little more attention as well as Deacon Phillipe and McGuire.

Default Clyde Milan

Milan was a good enough guy that Walter Johnson roomed with him for 10 years.

He was a good enough ballplayer that he finished one position behind Johnson in voting for the 1912 Chalmers award (this was Johnson's 33-12 season). That was the year that Milan stole 88 bases.

Came up the same month in 1907 as Johnson, played with Washington through the '22 season. He managed or coached for them until he died in 1953.

Just a solid ballplayer, who retired just as Washington was getting good.

Vern Stephens.

How many other shortstops have had 159 RBIs in one season? And 144 in another?

Bill Dahlen was always one of my favorites and I believe worthy of the HOF. Bad Bill was a .272 lifetime hitter over 21 seasons (including a string of 5 years he averaged around .330), 2450+ hits, etc. According to baseball statistics, out of the 10 players with "similarity scores" closest to Dahlen, 6 are HOF'ers and one will be after his retirement.

Awesome thread!!! This is the exact kind of thing I've been looking for. Perfect for someone new into vintage who doesn't know all the players as well and who can't really afford the big HOFers.
