37. George Case

Leading the American League in Stolen Bases five years in a row (1939-43) George Case was one of the fastest players in his time.  Case would be chosen for three All-Star Games (albeit two during the War when there were limited stars in MLB) Case would finish as high as ninth in MVP voting (1945) and had two other years where he received MVP votes.  The outfielder would have three .300 seasons and four campaigns where he accrued over 100 Runs Scored.

Case collected 1,306 Hits, 321 Stolen Base with a .288 Batting Average

44. Jim Shaw

Playing all of his nine of his Major League seasons with the Washington Senators, Jim Shaw may have had a losing record over his career (84-98), Jim Shaw was still a good pitcher who would finish in the top ten in Strikeouts four times and would lead the AL in Innings Pitched in 1919.  He was nicknamed “Grunting” Jim Shaw, as like many tennis players when they hit the ball, he would grunt with every pitch.

45. Roy Sievers

A former Rookie of the Year for the St. Louis Browns in 1949, Roy Sievers became an offensive star for the Washington Senators in the 1950’s.  Sievers would be named to three All-Star Games as a Senator and would finish in the top five in Home Runs three times.  In 1957, he would win the Home Run and RBI Title while finishing third in American League MVP voting.

Sievers had 180 Home Runs with 823 Hits as a Senator.
