Buddy Myer was referred to as the "cocky little Second Baseman," though that was not meant as a compliment, and was usually used by opponents or opponents' fans after Myer did well.

According to his peers, Myer was one of those super-nice guys, but once on the field, he was one of the most tenacious players in diamond history.  He first cracked the Majors with Washington in 1925, where, as a rookie, he was part of their American League pennant win.  He would take over as their starting Shortstop the year after, batting .304, which would be the Infielder's first of eight .300 years.  The Senators inexplicably traded Myer to Boston during the 1927 season, and in 1928, he led the AL in Stolen Bases.  Washington reacquired Myer in the offseason, and they never let him go again.

Myer later helped the Senators win the Pennant in 1933, though they would lose to the New York Giants.  It was a tumultuous year for Myer, who got involved in a bloody brawl with Ben Chapman, who made anti-Semitic remarks toward Myer.  This was par for the course for Chapman, who later tormented Jackie Robinson with racial slurs when he was the Phillies Manager.

Myer would later go to two All-Star Games and win the Batting Title in 1935.  That year, he finished fourth in MVP voting.  Myer played until 1941 and left the game with 2,131 Hits and a lifetime Batting Average of .303.

Mark Grace is the answer to the question of the trivia question; Who had the most Hits in the 1990s?

Lynwood Thomas "Schoolboy" Rowe was a Texas boy through and through, and when he joined the Detroit Tigers in 1933, the Michigan fans loved the superstitious Pitcher.

Rowe had his best year early, as in his second season, he posted a 24-8 record and led the American League in SO/BB (1.84).  Rowe was fourth in MVP voting, and he helped the Tigers win the American League Pennant, though they lost to the Cardinals.  The year after, Rowe was an All-Star, won the SO/BB Title again, and, more importantly, he helped Detroit win the World Series.

The remainder of Rowe’s career was marked by ups and downs; he was hurt for most of 1937 and 1938 and rebounded with a 16-3 record in 1940.  His '42 year was split between Detroit and Brooklyn, and he joined the Phillies in 1943, where he won 14 Games before going into the military for World War II.

He came back and was an All-Star again in 1947, before retiring in 1949 with a 158-101 record.

Nap Rucker played an even ten seasons with Brooklyn (1907-16), back when the franchise had intriguing team names like the Superbas and the Robins.
