Spending his entire professional baseball career with the Washington Senators, Buddy Lewis looked liked he was primed for greatness. A hitting machine, Lewis had six straight 160 plus Hit seasons by the age of 24, and was only behind only Ty Cobb in the statistic of Hits by a similar age.
Lewis would however miss the nest three years of his career due to serving in World War II, and wasn’t the same when he returned. Still, Lewis had over 1,500 Hits over his career with a .297 Batting Average. He was also a two-time All-Star.
