Gavvy Cravath did not make the Majors until he was 27, where he spent 94 Games in 1908. He did not make the best impression, and he bounced around the following year from the minors and had stints with the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators, and then it was back to the minors. It would have been easy to think that this would be it for the slow-footed Rightfielder, but he found a home in Philadelphia in 1912.
Chet Lemon split his career with the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers, and over his career, the Centerfielder's main calling card was a dependable defense with underrated offensive skill.
Fred "Dixie" Walker was in the New York Yankees organization for a few years, but he struggled to stay in their lineup. The Yanks waived him, and the White Sox picked him up during the 1936 Season, and the year after, he had his breakthrough campaign in the Majors.
Torii Hunter had an excellent career, and the man they dubbed "Spider-Man" was a SportsCenter highlight reel with his acrobat catches. Hunter would win 9 Gold Gloves and was also decent with his bat, earning a pair of Silver Sluggers.
