Owning the same name as a Country-Pop legend, Kenny Rogers was one of the most durable pitchers of the modern era.
Toby Harrah can make a claim as the greatest baseball player whose last name is a palindrome.
Herman Long had 1,096 Errors over his career, which is more than anyone else. It is an unbreakable record, but he did that in a time where errors were more easily given, and he was a player who was fearless in doing what was needed to stop the ball from getting past the infield. This means that Long had incredible range, and his Defensive bWAR was very good, so despite the Errors, we have one of the best defensive players of his day.
Bob Shawkey was a star on the rise with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics, but the cash-strapped team traded him to the New York Yankees during the 1915 season.
Shawkey had four 20 Win years for the Yanks, used both as a starter and reliever. In 1916, he led the American League in Games Finished (24) and Saves, while posting a 2.21 ERA. Shawkey would later win the ERA Title in 1920 and was a vital member of the Yankees’ 1923 World Series Championship Team. Late in his career, he was part of another title win (1927), his last year as a player.
He would retire with a record of 195-150.
