For the last four years of the deadball era, Sisler was an outstanding hitter. He was among the league leaders in on base %, slugging &, batting average each season. Then, when the live or rabbit ball was introduced, he jumped into another gear and surpassed even Cobb in hitting for 3 years. Unfortunately for Bagwell, he "bulked up" and became especially productive during the heart of the steroid era, and there are some who hold that against him. I happen to think that he was a great hitter in his own right and that he belongs in the Hall of Fame. But I am also extremely impressed by Sisler's work, especially when we factor in the difficulty of hitting prior to 1920.

At one time or another, Foxx played 8 different positions. The only position he did not play was 2nd Base. Foxx even pitched - and was effective.
How many other players in the entire history of baseball played 8 positions?

These guys all played 9 positions... in a single game: Cesar Tovar of the Twins, Bert Campenaris of the Athletics, Jose Oquendo of the St. Louis Cardinals, Scott Shelden of the Rangers, and Shane Halter of the Tigers.
