Ferris Fain was plucked in the Rule 5 Draft after the 1946 Season, and he was inserted as the starting First Baseman the year after. Fain immediately showed extraordinary plate discipline as he had a ,414 OBP as a rookie. Fain played his first six seasons in the Majors with the Philadelphia Athletics, and he never had an OBP less than .412, and he was always in the top seven in that category. Fain would be named an All-Star in 1950, and would be again in 1951 and 1952, with the latter year seeing him win the OBP Title with .438.
Fain could also hit well, winning the American League Batting Title in both 1951 and 1952.
He was traded to the Chicago White Sox after the 1952 Season, and with Chicago he had 887 Hits with a Batting Average of .297 and On Base Percentage of .426.All-Star (1950, 1951 & 1952)
