Roy Smalley arrived to Minnesota in 1976 in a blockbuster trade (it sent Bert Blyleven to Texas) and would stay the starting Shortstop for the Twins until his departure in 1982.  Smalley’s best season was 1979 where he was named an All-Star and had career highs in Hits (168) and Home Runs (24).  

A member of the 1924 World Series Championship Team, Tom Zachary would have four seasons for the Washington Senators where he hit the 15 Win mark.  The lefthander would go 2-0 in the ’24 World Series and he finished in second place in ERA during the regular season.  He would later win a second World Series Ring with the 1929 New York Yankees.

Zachary's Senators record was 96 and 104 with a 3.78 ERA.

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

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.
