gold star for USAHOF

9. Sam Rice

Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1963 via the Veteran’s Committee, Sam Rice was a Washington Senator for all but his final season in MLB.  Rice smacked 2,987 Hits over his career (2,889 with Washington) and would lead the AL in Hits twice and had over 200 Hits in a season six times.  As expected, he would have thirteen seasons where he batted over .300 and had a career Batting Average for the Senators of .323.  Rice was also a fleet footed player who won the Stolen Base crown in 1920 and swiped 346 overall bases a Senator.
