107. Jack Quinn

Jack Quinn was Jamie Moyer before Jamie Moyer.

91. Don Newcombe

Don Newcombe was more than a great Pitcher, as he was a trailblazer in terms of African Americans in baseball.

160. Dolph Camilli

Dolph Camilli came up with the Chicago Cubs, and they arguably gave up as he was prone to the Strikeouts, and he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.  With Philly, he still struck out a lot but was developing a strong power game.  In 1935, through 1937, the First Baseman would have at least 25 Home Runs, and in the latter two years, he would bat over .310.  In that last season, Camilli would have a league-leading On Base Percentage (.446).

117. Bert Campaneris

From the island of Cuba, Bert Campaneris would go down in history as one of the most versatile players in Major League history, and he would become the first man to ever play all nine positions in a Major League Game.  He accomplished that early in his career in 1965 when he was with the Kansas City Athletics.
