The older brother of Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry, Jim Perry, was an outstanding hurler worthy of consideration in his own right.

Perry first appeared in the Majors in 1959 with the Cleveland Indians, where, after a 12-10 and 2.65 ERA year, he was the runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year.  Perry led the AL in Wins in 1960 (18) and was an All-Star the season after, but he slumped afterward and was traded to the Minnesota Twins during the 1963 Season. 

The elder Perry did better in Minnesota, helping the Twins win the Pennant in 1965, and at the decade's end, he had his first 20 Win Season, going 20-6 and finishing third in Cy Young voting.  Perry was first in Wins the following season, going 24-12 and winning the Cy Young.  As an All-Star in both 1970 and 1971, Perry moved to Detroit in 1973 and had one good year back with the Indians in 1974, when he went 17-12.

Perry finished his career in 1975, retiring with a 215-174 record and 1,575 Strikeouts.

Hardy Richardson was a 14-year veteran whose career slipped through the cracks of baseball history.  This is partly because it was so long ago, as his professional tenure was from 1879 to 1892.  Another part is because the best part of his career happened with two teams that haven't existed in well over a century, the Buffalo Bisons and the Detroit Wolverines.

Playing his entire pro career with the Minnesota Twins, Brad Radke had a good career, and while he gained his share of Wins, it was his consistency that he is most remembered for.  

Del Pratt had a great rookie campaign in 1912, where the then St. Louis Brown had 172 Hits and a .302 Batting Average.  The Second Baseman continued to do well, recording at least 159 Hits with 26 Stolen Bases and finishing first in Runs Batted In (103) in 1916.   That was a good initial run, but all was not well in the city of St. Louis.

The Second Baseman had a poor 1917, and the Browns’ owner, Phil Ball, suggested that Pratt and other Browns players were deliberately playing badly with the hope of being traded.  Ball suggested pay cuts for those players.  Incensed that he was accused of dogging it, he and his teammate, Doc Lavan, sued Ball for slander. While the suit was eventually settled, Pratt was traded to the Yankees, which was good for both sides, as neither wanted to be around the other.

Pratt rebounded with New York, and he batted .314 in 1920.  He was traded to the Boston Red Sox in 1921, where he batted .300 over his two seasons.  He played two final years with the Detroit Tigers, again batting over .300 in those campaigns.

Pratt left the game four Hits shy of 2,000 with a Batting Average of .292.
