184. Dixie Walker

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.

With the ChiSox, Walker led the AL in Triples (16) in 1937, and he batted .302.  Walker was then traded to the Detroit Tigers and later the Brooklyn Dodgers, where he became a star.

The Outfielder went to five consecutive All-Star Games (1943-47), with the middle three years earning Walker top-ten MVP finishes.  His best season was in 1944, winning the Batting Title with a .357 average, and in 1945, he was atop the National League leaderboard in Runs Batted In (124). 

Walker’s legacy is tarnished by his staunch opposition to Jackie Robinson's joining the team and to baseball's integration.  He was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates after the 1947 season (the year of integration), and he finished his career two seasons later with 2,064 Hits and a career Batting Average of .306.

91. Torii Hunter

Torii Hunter had an excellent career, and the man they dubbed "Spider-Man" was a SportsCenter highlight reel with his acrobatic catches.  Hunter would win 9 Gold Gloves and was also decent with his bat, earning a pair of Silver Sluggers.

Hunter, a five-time All-Star, had very good offensive numbers with 2,452 Hits and 353 Home Runs in a career mostly with the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels. 

248. Mort Cooper

Mort Cooper must have felt like he had arm trouble his entire career, and if that was the case, it was because it was true.

145. Jimmy Sheckard

Jimmy Sheckard spent most of his career with either the Brooklyn Dodgers or the Chicago Cubs, and while they were both high-profile teams, He is one of the most undervalued players in history.

The Outfielder proved to be a good hitter throughout his career, batting at least .300 twice.  In 1901, as a Brooklyn Superba, he led the National League in Triples (19) and Slugging Percentage (.534), and two years later, Sheckard’s nine Home Runs were enough to lead the NL.

Sheckard later played for the Cubs, where he helped Chicago win four National League Pennants, two of which they won.  The speedy Outfielder also had a keen batting eye, leading the NL in Walks in 1911 and 1912, and he was first in OBP in 1911 (.434).  Sheckard swiped 465 bases over his career and tallied 2,084 Hits.
