Technically not eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame as he didn’t play ten years in the Majors, Bill Hutchinson lands on this list based on the strength of three incredible years with the Chicago Colts.
The older brother of Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry, Jim Perry, was an outstanding hurler worthy of consideration in his own right.
Perry first appeared in the Majors in 1959 with the Cleveland Indians, where, after a 12-10 and 2.65 ERA year, he was the runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year. Perry led the AL in Wins in 1960 (18) and was an All-Star the season after, but he slumped afterward and was traded to the Minnesota Twins during the 1963 Season.
The elder Perry did better in Minnesota, helping the Twins win the Pennant in 1965, and at the decade's end, he had his first 20 Win Season, going 20-6 and finishing third in Cy Young voting. Perry was first in Wins the following season, going 24-12 and winning the Cy Young. As an All-Star in both 1970 and 1971, Perry moved to Detroit in 1973 and had one good year back with the Indians in 1974, when he went 17-12.
Perry finished his career in 1975, retiring with a 215-174 record and 1,575 Strikeouts.
Hardy Richardson was a 14-year veteran whose career slipped through the cracks of baseball history. This is partly because it was so long ago, as his professional tenure was from 1879 to 1892. Another part is because the best part of his career happened with two teams that haven't existed in well over a century, the Buffalo Bisons and the Detroit Wolverines.
Playing his entire pro career with the Minnesota Twins, Brad Radke had a good career, and while he gained his share of Wins, it was his consistency that he is most remembered for.
