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.
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.
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.
Andrus Peat came by his skills as a lineman naturally, as he is the sone of former Guard, Todd Peat, who played nine years in the NFL. Peat played his college ball at Stanford, where in 2014, he won the Morris Trophy as the top Linemen in the Pac-12. Peat’s success as a Cardinal translated to the NFL Draft, where the Saints used the 13th Overall Pick to select him.
