Playing for the Washington Senators for all of his eighteen MLB seasons, Ossie Bluege was not known as a great hitter, though he was consistent enough to put together 1,751 Hits over his tenure. Bluege was best known for his defensive skills at the hot corner and would likely have been a multi-time Gold Glove winner had that award existed at the time.
The Third Baseman would assist the Senators in winning their lone World Series win in Washington and was considered a quiet leader. He would later manage the club for five seasons and was later a scout and the man who brought the team Harmon Killebrew.
