gold star for USAHOF

23. Donie Bush

Donie Bush was one of the better defensive Shortstops of his day, finishing in the top ten in Defensive bWAR seven times, but was never really regarded (in his day) as a good hitter.  While he did finish his career (mostly with Detroit) with a .250 Batting Average, he is a five-time American League leader in Walks, an important statistic that is held in higher regard now.

Bush was with Detroit for the first 14 years of his life, and he would have 1,745 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 9.9 for Detroit.
