Johnny Logan was an excellent defensive Shortstop who would three times lead all of his National League peers in Total Zone Runs and was a three-time leader in Fielding Percentage.  Logan was not the greatest hitter but he was an All-Star four times who scrapped out four straight 150 Hit seasons (1953 to 1957) who helped the Milwaukee Braves win the 1957 World Series.  The respect that writers had for his overall game was shown by Logan receiving MVP votes annually from 1952 to 1957, though he never finished in the top ten.
