A native of Vermont, Larry Gardner broke into the Majors relatively close with the Boston Red Sox in 1908.  Playing mostly at Third Base, Gardner was mainly known for his defensive abilities, finishing in Defensive bWAR seven times in the top ten.  Gardner was Boston's Third Baseman for their three World Series Championship in the 1910s, and he would win a fourth World Series with the Cleveland Indians in 1920. 

Al Rosen made his first appearance for the Cleveland Indians in 1947, and this would be the only Major League team he ever played for.

Babe Herman made his first appearance in the Majors with the Brooklyn Robins, and it was there where he established himself as one of the better power hitters in the National League.

Magglio Ordonez proved to be a very good hitter over his fifteen-year career, with 2,156 Hits, a .308 career Batting Average, a Batting Title in 2007, and had good power numbers with three Silver Slugger Awards and a career Slugging Average over .500.  In 2007, Ordonez was the runner-up for the American League MVP Award, and he went to six All-Star games.  He was good player for a long time but his career bWAR of 38.5, while decent, is not really indicative of a Hall of Fame inductee by today’s standards.
