Charley Jamieson had already played in the Majors for four years before being traded to Cleveland before the 1919 season.  He didn't do much early, but in 1920, he began to see more playing time, and he helped the Indians win the World Series. That would be the only time he was in the playoffs, but his best years were about to occur.

Jamieson had at least 150 Hits annually from 1921 to 1927, with a pair of those years (1923 and 1924) seeing the Outfielder eclipse 200, leading the AL in that statistic with 222.  Batting over .300 eight times, Jamieson would bat .316 as an Indian, but he only had 18 Home Runs, which cost him a couple of spots.  

In 2016, he was one of four men inducted into their Indians' Hall of Fame.
